Sinangag is a Filipino Garlic Rice made with garlic and a day old rice. Garlic is stir fried to golden brown then rice is added and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Unlike fried rice, sinangag recipe does not have any meat or vegetables but it is usually paired with dried fish or squid, egg, longanisa, sausage, tapa or tapsilog, a combination of sinangag rice, tapa (cured pork) and egg.

Crushed raw garlic is very pungent but when stir fried the aroma is so good.

If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can crush the raw garlic with a knife and your fist. Watch my video to see it.

Sinangag is usually served with meat or fish during breakfast. To some, like myself, I can have it on its own and any time of day.

Yes, Filipinos eat rice for breakfast. A day old rice is used to make sinangag which is firmer and drier in texture.
