Garlic Fried Rice with Egg

The first step to making this garlic soy butter is to make a roasted garlic oil. Put ten peeled cloves of garlic in a small oven safe ramekin or bowl. Cover the garlic cloves with just enough olive oil to cover each garlic clove (about 1/4 cup olive oil). Afterwards, sprinkle with salt and black pepper and cover tightly with foil. Put in the oven or toaster oven for 20-30 minutes at 375ºF. Use a fork to check that the cloves are soft and tender before taking them out of the oven.

Then to the roasted garlic cloves, add 2 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic, 1/2 cup of softened, unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Mix everything together until smooth. Store garlic soy butter in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.
