Japanese style garlic fried rice is often served at Teppanyaki restaurants as a side dish for steaks or grilled seafood. Minced fresh garlic is slowly cooked in olive oil and butter in a frying pan, and the cooked steamed rice is fried in the aromatic oil. Similar to garlic noodles or garlic bread, the flavor combination of garlic, oil, and rice can’t go wrong. This is an easy to make side dish, and the flavor is so addictive! You can double the recipe if you cook on a griddle or a large skillet.
