But this isn’t just for Pad Thai or pho. With just a dash, Soeos Fish Sauce brings a deep, savory richness to everyday meals.
Today, we’re showing you how to add that depth to a comforting classic: Garlic Butter Fried Rice — a humble dish taken to the next level with the magic of Soeos.
🍚 Garlic Butter Fried Rice with Soeos Fish Sauce
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 3 cups cooked, day-old white rice
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Soeos Fish Sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional for color)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1 egg (optional, for topping)
- Lime wedge & chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prep the rice:
Break up any clumps in your cold, cooked rice. Set aside. -
Sauté garlic:
In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until golden and fragrant—about 30 seconds. Don’t let it burn! -
Add the rice:
Toss in the rice and stir to coat evenly with the garlicky butter. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through. -
Season it right:
Add 1 tablespoon of Soeos Fish Sauce and a splash of soy sauce (if using). Stir well. Let the fish sauce hit the pan and caramelize slightly—this is where the magic happens. -
Finish with flair:
Sprinkle in black pepper and chopped green onion. Stir once more and turn off the heat. -
Top it off (optional):
Fry an egg sunny-side-up and place it over the rice for that perfect finishing touch.
🍽 Why It Works
The butter provides richness, the garlic gives bite, and the Soeos Fish Sauce delivers a layered, savory depth you can’t get with salt alone. It’s not fishy—it’s flavorful. Just a tablespoon takes this dish from basic to bold.
