Garlic Butter Rice 蒜香牛油饭
As I ran out of idea what to cook for lunch yesterday and also lazy to go out in the late morning to the supermarket, I just whipped up a simple and fuss free Garlic Butter Rice. I cooked the butter rice with chopped garlic in the rice cooker and served it with some air-fried chicken nuggets that I had in the freezer. The rice has a buttery fragrance and I garnished it with some fried garlic slices. To enhance the flavour, I drizzled some garlic oil over it. This is an easy recipe with only a few ingredients which are readily available in your pantry. For a little more nutty flavour, you can add some toasted cashew nuts or blanched French Beans, corn and raisins to serve on its own as a one-dish meal.
Garlice Butter Rice
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp turmeric powder - optional or put less if you don't like the rice to be too yellow
- 2 tbsp chopped garlic
- 30 g butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic - sliced
- 200 ml cooking oil
- some cut spring onion - for garnishing
Instructions
- Rinse rice and add water (or according to your normal amount) into rice cooker together with salt, turmeric powder and chopped garlic, stir well and lastly add butter. Cover lid and start to cook your rice.
- Meanwhile, in a small pot heat up cooking oil for 30 seconds at medium heat. Off heat and drop in the sliced garlic. Wait for the bubbles to die down in the hot oil, then turn on heat again to low and stir the sliced garlic for about one minute or shorter. Turn off heat when you see the sliced garlic start turning brown, quickly dish up and drain well.
- To serve, stir well the butter rice and garnish with sliced garlic and spring onion. **Drizzle with some garlic oil if you like.

蒜香牛油饭
煮牛油饭是最简单的一道主食，加了蒜头碎和炸香蒜片使饭粒更加美味。喜欢的话可以配上一些烤香的腰果和水煮四季豆，玉米和葡萄干也可以。这样也不用再煮其他的配菜了。
喜欢牛油和蒜味的朋友可以试试看~~
材料：
- 1杯 香米
- 1杯 水
- 1茶匙 盐
- 1/8茶匙 黄姜粉 （不喜欢米饭颜色太黄的的话，可少放或不放）
- 2汤匙 蒜头，剁碎
- 20克 牛油
- 3-4粒 蒜头，切成片
- 200毫升 食油
- 葱粒，点聚
做法：
- 米洗净后放入电饭锅内加水（跟平常煮饭一样），加入盐，黄姜粉，蒜头碎，搅匀；最后放入牛油。开始煮饭喽。
- 期间用中火烧热油（约30秒），然后熄火放入蒜片，等到热油泡泡消耗掉了，再开小火，搅拌蒜片大约一分钟左右，差不多变色就可以熄火了。马上盛起炸好的蒜片沥干油分。
- 牛油饭煮好了，拌匀盛起，撒上适量的葱粒和炸好的蒜片就可以享受一碗好吃的蒜香牛油饭了（我还滴了几滴蒜头油在饭里增加香味呢）。
