Sinangag Recipe (Filipino Fried Rice)

Sinangag or Garlic Fried Rice has been a favorite part of every Filipino breakfast. Sinangag can go well with many dishes regardless if these are fried dishes or stews. I personally 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.

Sinangag Recipe - Filipino Fried Rice

I used to eat Filipino Garlic Fried rice for breakfast most of the time. I like it with lots of toasted garlic on top. This was the reason why I needed to brush my teeth twice after the meal.

There are days where I get very lazy, but still crave for this dish. I usually do a shortcut by just mixing leftover rice with toasted garlic ( I regularly keep toasted garlic in the fridge sealed in a jar just in case I will need it), add a bit of oil and mix everything, and then cook it in the microwave. The place will smell like garlic so make sure you have proper ventilation in the house.

Tips on How to Cook Sinangag (Filipino Fried Rice)

Although it seems simple to cook sinangag, the success of this fried rice relies on the type and condition of rice that you will use. Based on my experience, it is best to use the non sticky rice varieties. Jasmine rice or long grain rice works good for me, and it is even better if these are left over rice from the previous day. You see, leftover rice will be less sticky and it is not that soft compared to newly cooked rice.

Another thing that you should be cognizant of is the ratio of oil vs. rice. Make sure not to put too much oil as it will make the entire dish oily and unpleasant. It is now time for you to make sinangag. Let me know if you have questions by posting a comment below.

    Thanks for the recipe, this is my go to if I have left over rice. Living in Belgium I have to copy paste the print of you’re recipes because of the lbs, ounce, and cups (we do have measuring cups and table -teaspoons) and of course I copy paste the link on footnote.

    May I suggest something to make your website even better & more practical?
    Please add a PRINT BUTTON on every recipe.
    Many of your readers probably want to actually try out your recipe, but in order to bring these instructions to the kitchen, we may want to print it out first so that they will be easier to follow.

      I appreciate the suggestion, Steve. I am in the process of rolling this update for newer recipes. I also had the older recipes scheduled for the print button update and it should take effect soon.
