Garlic Rice

This tastes a lot like fried rice, but my family likes it better than fried rice.  Based off of this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
  
• 3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
• 4 cloves garlic, minced (can increase this if you really like garlic, I usually use about 6)
• 1/4 tsp. dry mustard
• 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
• 1/8 tsp. sugar
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar (do not substitute another type of vinegar for this, if you don’t have it, leave it out)
  

Directions

1. Thoroughly cook and cool the rice.  This step is very important; it really does affect the flavor to cool it completely first.
2. In large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat and stir fry the garlic until golden brown. (don’t burn or the dish will turn bitter)
3. Add the dry mustard, garlic salt, and sugar.  Wait until the sugar melts then add the cooked rice.
4. Stir fry the rice for 2-3 minutes.  Add soy sauce and rice vinegar.  Stir thoroughly, serve when heated all the way through.
   

I have yet to try this with vegetables and eggs added in like fried rice, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
