Rösle 12895 Stainless Steel Garlic & Ginger Press
Essential Tool for Perfect Garlic
Fresh garlic is the star of this recipe! While you can mince garlic by hand, I highly recommend using a quality garlic press for consistent results and to save time. The garlic press I use creates perfectly minced garlic that releases maximum flavor.

Are you adding the rice to the pan with the sauce? I’m confused as to whether you removed all of the sauce or only 2 tablespoons of sauce?
Only remove two tablespoons, leave the rest in the pan.
