vegetable oil

kimchi

🥗Healthier: pickled vegetables

💰Cheaper: sautéed cabbage

Pickled vegetables provide similar tanginess.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is a healthier alternative with a different flavor.

egg

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: scrambled egg substitute

Tofu provides a similar texture without cholesterol.

Start by drying out the cooked rice to absorb flavors later.

Use 1 cup of cooked rice and fan it out to let steam escape.

Chop off the ends of 4 cloves of garlic and cut them into thin chips.

Measure out 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and add it to a wok or pot.

While the oil is cold, add the garlic pieces and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to prevent burning.

Turn the heat to medium-low and mix the garlic around until it starts to gently sizzle.

Once the minced garlic starts to brown slightly, remove a few pieces for garnish.

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the garlic and mix well.

Add 4 shakes of salt and then the cooked rice, mixing everything together.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt into the rice mixture.
