Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

For the garlic oil and chips:
1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (135 g) garlic cloves, sliced paper thin
4 cups (800 g) freshly cooked jasmine rice, kept hot
Kosher salt
For serving (optional):
2 to 4 large eggs, fried or sunny-side up

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Line a plate with paper towels and set it nearby.
  • Carefully pour the garlic into the hot oil and stir continuously until the garlic is just beginning to lightly brown. Remove the pan from the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried garlic onto the paper towel-lined plate; reserve the oil. Set both the garlic and the oil aside while you make the rice. (You can store the garlic chips and oil in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
  • Fluff the hot rice with a fork and toss it with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the garlic oil and 1/2 cup (40 g) of the fried garlic chips. (You will have leftover oil and chips for more rice; or try them on the pansits and soups.)
  • Season the rice with salt and serve right away or at room temperature, with the eggs, if desired.

FILIPINO COCONUT GARLIC FRIED RICE (SINANGAG)



Filipino Coconut Garlic Fried Rice (Sinangag) image

This super-delicious rice can be made mostly ahead of time. You need the steamed rice to cool and dry out a bit before you fry it anyway. The final result is addictive and goes with everything on this menu, so I like to make 2 batches--one plain and one with the optional turmeric--which adds a little extra flavor and a pretty orange color.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
1 ½ cups water
½ (15 ounce) can unsweetened coconut cream
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons coconut oil
¼ cup finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fish sauce

Steps:

  • Put rice in a large bowl with enough water to cover by a few inches. Swirl with your fingers, then drain. Repeat until the water runs clear, about 3 times.
  • Stir together rice, 1 1/2 cups water, coconut cream, turmeric, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Chill, uncovered, 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
  • Heat coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat. Add garlic; cook until it just begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add rice and spread in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, until lightly browned and crisp on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Add fish sauce. Cook, stirring, until fully combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Cook the rice properly: Make sure the rice is cooked through but not mushy. You can use a rice cooker or a saucepan on the stovetop. If using a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then add the rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and will fry better. If you don't have day-old rice, you can spread fresh rice on a baking sheet and let it air dry for 30 minutes before frying.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the rice from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can season it by heating it over high heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the pan to coat it, then remove the oil and wipe the pan dry.
  • Use high heat: High heat will help the rice to fry quickly and evenly. If you use low heat, the rice will steam instead of fry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the rice will not fry evenly. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
  • Season the rice to taste: You can season the rice with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Sinangag is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is a popular breakfast food in the Philippines, but it can also be served as a lunch or dinner side dish. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook rice, try sinangag. You won't be disappointed!
