Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionToss garlic and grapeseed oil in a large nonstick skillet.
Arrange garlic in a single layer and set over medium heat.
Cook, shaking pan often, until garlic is barely golden and crisp (oil should stop bubbling at this point), about 5 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic chips to paper towels to drain; season with salt.
Increase heat to medium-high and cook ginger in oil in the same skillet, stirring occasionally, until just softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add egg and stir to break up; cook until just set (this will take a matter of seconds).
Add rice and sesame oil and toss to combine.
Cook, undisturbed, pressing down on rice with a spatula so it makes good contact with the pan, until rice begins to crisp, about 2 minutes.
Give rice a toss, then press down on it again, cooking until you get more crispy bits, about 2 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and toss in scallions and half of garlic chips; season with salt.
Transfer fried rice to a platter and scatter cilantro, sesame seeds, and remaining garlic chips on top.
Garlic chips can be made 1 day ahead.
Store airtight at room temperature.
