Filipino Fried Garlic Rice (Sinangag)
Sinangag or Garlic Fried Rice is a favorite part of every Filipino breakfast. Sinangag is a perfect side dish for many other fried dishes or stews. We prefer to keep it simple. This garlic fried rice tastes best with fried eggs and fresh spring onions.
Use leftover rice for your Sinangag
Although it seems very simple to cook sinangag but the success of this fried rice relies on the type and condition of rice that you will use. It is always best to use the non sticky rice varieties. Jasmine rice or long grain rice are the best and it is even better if these are leftover rice from the previous day. Leftover rice will be less sticky than fresh cooked rice. So this recipe is perfect when you want to get rid of your leftover rice.
