Serving: Garlic rice is a perfect side dish to accompany grilled meats, stir-fries, roasted vegetables, or seafood. It can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone dish with a sprinkle of cheese or a fried egg on top.
Storage: Store any leftover garlic rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by adding a little water to the rice and warming it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Variants:
Crispy Garlic Rice: For added texture, sauté the garlic in a bit of oil until it’s crispy, then toss it with the cooked rice just before serving.
Garlic Butter Rice with Parmesan: Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese after cooking the rice for an extra rich and cheesy flavor.
Spicy Garlic Rice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper to the garlic while sautéing it for a spicy kick.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
A: Yes, you can use brown rice, but keep in mind that it will require a longer cooking time—about 40-45 minutes. Be sure to adjust the water ratio accordingly.
Q: Can I make this recipe vegan?
A: Yes, simply substitute the butter with olive oil or another plant-based oil to make it fully vegan.
Q: Can I add other ingredients to the garlic rice?
A: Absolutely! You can add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, peas, or mushrooms for added color and flavor.
