Steps
- 1
Crush the three garlic cloves with salt to taste and set aside.

Notes
The description indicates 250 g of cheese but does not quantify the additional grated cheese or fried egg suggested at the end of the transcript. The oil is described as “a generous drizzle,” without a precise quantity. The time required for the rice to absorb the liquid before covering it is not specified, nor are exact quantities for the noodles and oil in relation to the narrated recipe; retain the quantities from the description when available.
