Crispy Rice Recipe
This crispy rice recipe transforms simple rice into a crunchy, golden delight that’s perfect as a side dish or a base for your favorite toppings. Quick and easy to prepare, it’s a delicious addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (day-old works best)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: If using freshly cooked rice, let it cool for at least 30 minutes. Day-old rice works best as it’s drier and will crisp up better.
- Heat the Oil: In a large non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan, spreading it out evenly. Press down gently with a spatula to form a flat layer.
- Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the rice.
- Cook: Let the rice cook undisturbed for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Crisp: Carefully flip the rice in sections to crisp up the other side. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until both sides are crispy.
- Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Top with optional green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of soy sauce, if desired.
