Cilantro Garlic Rice
This super fragrant cilantro garlic rice is a favourite of mine to use up day-old white rice and infused delicious herby and garlicky flavour. It's great for bowls, tacos, or a side!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp 15 mL vegetable oil (any neutral flavoured oil that can withstand high heat like sunflower, canola, or a vegetable blend)
- 4 cloves garlic crushed (or finely minced)
- 1.5-2 cups approx 800 mL when cooked of rice, cooked (it doesn't have to be exact)
- 1/4 cup 15 g finely chopped cilantro (stems and leaves)
- 1/2 tsp 2.5 g kosher salt or salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large non-stick pan, heat oil over medium heat.
- Fry the minced garlic until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
- Add the cooked rice (can be day-old or freshly cooked), then mix well to break up the rice and mix the garlic and oil into the rice.
- Once the rice has heated through, add chopped cilantro and salt and mix well. Taste for seasoning, add salt if more is needed, then enjoy!
