What we want to do with our onion is we want to sauté this with our rice, so we'll turn our burner up to eight on our back with our rice. We'll add a tablespoon of oil, and then we'll cut our garlic. That should be ready to go by the dime by the time we're done cutting our garlic. So we'll pull out two cloves of garlic, and one side is going to be smooth, and the other is going to have a brown stem on it on both of these pieces. So we want to cut those off, and get rid of them, because they're about the size that we want to cut the rest of the garlic. We don't want them to get mixed in. So, we want to grab both sides of the clove, and hold it steady, and then we want to squeeze one end back here. I could see the garlic is riding up the knife, so when we're done we'll push that back down. Then we'll do the same for this clove, and we're going to ball them together and go over, so that there are no large pieces. Now, we'll come to our pan, and we will move our oil around; make sure it's covering all of the bottom of the pan, and we'll add our onions, and then our garlic.
