Let's Cook Sinangag (Fried Rice) - Beautiful Sunday

in beautifulsunday •  6 years ago 

Sinangag or Fried Rice is still a favorite part of every Filipino breakfast. It can go well with many dishes, regardless if these are fried or stews. We like to have sinangag with fried salted dried fish such as tuyo, daing, and danggit. Of course, sinangag is also best with tapa, tocino, longganisa, and corned beef... Or anything that you can find in your ref: eggs, hotdogs, ham and bacon.

Today, I'm going to teach you the basic steps on how to cook Sinangag...

Normally, the fried rice I'm familiar with is cooked with egg.
You should try it. Some said the expert level is every grain of fried rice is covered with egg.

The version we're familiar with is it is cooked with butter or oil. We let the butter cover every grain. The egg will be the side dish or cut into strips and mixed with fried rice before it is done. There are different versions nowadays. But it is still unacceptable to use freshly cooked rice.

Yes. One of the shop i know have this practice of using overnight rice which they keep in the fridge overnight so its drier.
