How to cook Sinangag or Filipino Garlic Fried Rice
Sinangag Recipe is the Filipino version of Fried Rice, only containing garlic and calls for day-old rice, and is often a breakfast fixture. Garlic elevates this simple fried rice recipe, giving it a robust flavor that makes it a great side dish. Sinangag is a part of the popular Si-Log meal such as TapSiLog, LongSiLog, HotSiLog, and more. If you’ve never tried this Filipino Fried Rice, then you should try it now, follow this recipe.
Breakfast in the Philippines is not complete without Sinangag. For us, the smell of flavorful Sinangag cooking is like waking up to the aroma of coffee. Cooking Sinangag is very easy; you only need cold rice that has already been prepared by boiling. But most use leftover rice when cooked at home, and others add some ingredients such as eggs, ham, or spam.
This Sinangag Recipe version has a slight twist; we add a little sesame oil and scallions.
