Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) long-grain white rice, cooked and cooled
  • 34 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: If you don’t have leftover rice, cook 1 cup (200g) of long-grain white rice according to package instructions. Spread it on a tray to cool and dry slightly to prevent clumping (about 20 minutes).
  2. Cook the garlic rice: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked rice and stir well to coat each grain with garlic oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp on the edges.
  3. Fry the eggs: In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Crack eggs gently into the pan, keeping yolks intact. Fry until whites are crispy and golden around edges, about 3-4 minutes. For runny yolks, don’t flip. For firmer yolks, carefully flip and cook another 30 seconds.
  4. Assemble the dish: Divide garlic rice between two plates. Place a crispy fried egg on top of each mound of rice.
  5. Drizzle with chili crisp: Spoon 1 tablespoon of chili crisp over each egg, letting the spicy oil and crunchy bits cascade over the rice.
  6. Garnish: Scatter sliced green onions on top for freshness and color.
  7. Serve immediately while the egg yolk is still runny and the rice is warm.

Notes

Use leftover or day-old rice for best texture. Control heat carefully to get crispy egg edges without burning. Splash water or broth on rice if it feels dry when frying. Adjust chili crisp amount to taste. Green onions add freshness and color. Soy sauce can be added for umami boost.
