Sinangag (Philippine Garlic Fried Rice)



[ts]
Sinangag (see-nah-ngag; see-nang-ag; with "ng" being the sound at the end of words like "song") is a simple no-recipe-needed dish.



[ts]
I heated some oil in a pan, then added a whackload of garlic. The more, the merrier. I sliced mine (instead of mincing or chopping) because I was afraid I would be too slow and small pieces would burn. I seasoned this lot generously with coarse salt. I then added cooked rice and stirred like mad. I'm very paranoid about burnt garlic!

Garlic fried rice! You already know it's good.

Oh, the possibilities with sinangag. I think Filipino readers can already anticipate our next posts, knowing with what foods this is going to be eaten.

    Haha... Hey, I don't think I've actually eaten Indonesian yellow rice! That must be remedied.

    We a "-silog" in the works. We aren't organized enough to do a Filipino month... but don't worry, there'll always be Filipino dishes here and there. =)

    Guess What? I just received an e-mail written in Mandarin to ask us to eat more garlic. One of the ways described is this Filipino version and another just to steam the rice with loads of garlic. We all know garlic is good for us and now there are more ways to incorporate it in our diets. :)

    Oh, know what, I've never tried just steaming the rice with garlic. Will have to try that.
