Mince two bulbs of garlic.

Crush the garlic to easily remove the skin.

Toast or brown the garlic in a quarter cup of oil over medium high heat.

Pour the cooking oil and add the minced garlic, turning the heat to low to prevent burning.

Stir occasionally until the garlic turns brown, then transfer to a small bowl and strain the oil, letting it drain for about 15 minutes.

Use a fork to break apart 2 cups of pre-cooked jasmine rice to ensure there are no chunks.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt to the rice and mix until well incorporated.

Set the heat to medium high in a medium-sized wok.

Pour a tablespoon of the garlic infused oil into the wok and fluff the rice again before adding it to the wok.

Stir fry the rice for about 5 to 8 minutes, continuing to stir until it starts clumping.

Add half of the toasted garlic to the rice, reserving the rest for later.

Season with rock salt and 1-2 pinches of ground black pepper, then stir to combine.

Turn off the stove and serve the garlic fried rice.
