1. 1
   Prepare day-old cooked rice and allow it to cool. Gently separate the grains to prevent clumping and set aside.
   ▶ ≈3:28
2. 2
   Add whole fresh garlic cloves to chicken fat and slowly heat over low temperature to create confit garlic. Allow the garlic to gradually soften and absorb the oil's flavor, cooking until completely tender.
   ▶ ≈2:10
3. 3
   In a separate pan, lightly fry peeled garlic cloves in chicken fat over low heat. Cook until the surface begins to brown slightly while the interior remains slightly raw, mimicking home-style cooking.
   ▶ ≈6:39
4. 4
   Add the cooled rice to the pan with the garlic. Cook over low heat until the rice grains are well separated, about a few minutes.
   ▶ ≈7:32
5. 5
   Add the prepared confit garlic and black garlic to the rice. Lightly break the black garlic into pieces but keep them chunky so flavors distribute while remaining in distinct pockets of sweetness.
   ▶ ≈8:03
6. 6
   Add the crispy fried garlic chips and fresh minced garlic. Season to taste with salt.
   ▶ ≈8:27
7. 7
   Transfer the fried rice to a serving plate. Garnish the top with additional crispy garlic chips and serve.
