INGREDIENTS

  • 4-6 cloves garlic
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ¼ tsp kosher/sea salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 stalks parsley

;

Instructions

to cook the Japanese rice, place the rice in a sieve and rinse under running water. Then transfer the rice to a large bowl, cover with water and soak for 30 minutes in the chiller, I like to soak them in an icy cold water. After 30 minutes, drain the rice and place them in the rice cooker and cook as rice cooker instructions, when ready use a fork to fluff them out. Turn the rice cooker off and leave it to cool, usually took me around 30 minutes to Cool off the moist from the rice. prepare your crispy garlic. Slice about 4 to 5 cloves of garlic to a thin layer. heat up the oil and add the garlic while the oil are still cold, ( If you add the garlic slices in hot oil, they would burn too fast and you may end up with burnt garlic slices) let it simmer with a very low heat, until the garlic become crispy and slightly brown, once that is done separate the garlic from the oil. Place them on the parchment pepper to observe the extra access from the oil & keep the garlic infused oil in the jar for other use (the oil have develop a garlic scent, great for other cooking)
