Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Season the oil with salt.

Mince 6 cloves of garlic until thin.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until crispy and golden, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Prepare 2 cups of jasmine rice that was cooked a few hours prior and slightly dried out by spreading it out.

Transfer half of the sautéed garlic to a bowl and keep the other half in the skillet.

Add the jasmine rice to the skillet with the remaining garlic and stir to coat the rice in the garlic oil.

Season the rice with black pepper and adjust salt to taste.

In a separate pan, heat oil and cook 2 eggs, seasoning with salt and chili flakes.

Mix butter into the rice until melted and combined, which will give the rice a yellow and opaque color.

Spread the rice out in the skillet to get crispy bits, then mix it up again.

Finish off the rice by tossing in chopped green onions and additional chili flakes.

Prepare a vinegar sauce by combining white vinegar, chopped chili, and 1 clove of garlic in a bowl.

Serve the garlic fried rice on a plate, topped with the fried eggs on the side, and the vinegar sauce for dipping.
