Directions: |
Directions:In a large wok or skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Stir fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes, until it turns a light golden color. Carefully remove the garlic from the pan, leaving the garlic-infused oil behind. Drain the fried garlic on paper towels until cool.
Add the cooked rice to the garlic oil in the wok, stirring to coat all the grains with oil. Spread the rice out in the wok, covering as much surface area of the hot pan as possible. Let the rice cook, undisturbed, for 3-5 min. Stir the rice well, then spread it out again and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 min more. Continue this process until the rice is cooked to your liking.
Once the rice is golden and starting to get crispy, return the fried garlic to the pan (saving some for garnish, if desired).
Season the rice with salt and pepper and transfer it to a serving dish.
Garnish with extra fried garlic and sliced scallions. If desired, serve the rice topped with fried eggs. |

Notes: Sinangag, or garlic fried rice, is the ultimate Filipino breakfast side dish. Made with day-old rice fried in oil and garlic, it’s the best aroma to wake up to in the morning.
The basic formula for fried rice is day-old white rice plus oil plus garlic. But more often than not, Filipinos add more ingredients to flesh out the dish and make it even more flavorful. Don’t be surprised to find peas, carrots, corn, and bits of ham in your sinangag.
Sinangag is most often served with a fried egg and a traditional meat dish such as tocino, tapa, or longganisa – the Filipino sausage.
How To Serve Filipino Garlic Rice:
Filipino garlic fried rice is typically served for breakfast with Filipino omelettes and banana ketchup.
If you don’t want to make the omelettes, you can also simply serve your fried rice topped with fried eggs.
If you’ve never had Filipino Garlic Fried Rice, then you are missing out. Garlic elevates this simple fried rice recipe, giving it a robust flavor that makes it a great side dish, no matter what meal you eat it for!
