Cut off the green parts of the leeks, focusing on the white parts.

Rinse the leeks under water to remove any dirt.

Roughly chop the leeks into big pieces.

Pour enough oil into a pan to fully submerge the ginger and garlic.

Fry the minced ginger and garlic in the oil for about 3 to 4 minutes until browned, without stirring.

Remove the ginger and garlic from the pan and drain on a paper towel.

In a second pan, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter and cook the leeks until soft.

Add another tablespoon of oil to the leeks, then add the cooked rice.

Cook the rice for about 2 minutes, stirring to mix, ensuring it is fluffy and not sticking together.

Scoop the fried rice into a bowl.

Dress the rice with sesame oil and soy sauce.

Sprinkle the fried ginger and garlic over the rice.
