We Filipinos love rice. We eat it every meal, 3 times a day, every day. Even our snacks have some rice in it too!
Garlic Fried Rice (Tagalog word: Sinangang) is one of the side dishes we Filipinos love! We usually serve this during breakfast with an egg and more protein.. like longanisa, tapa, fried fish, & etc. Now, I am hungry!
It is best to use old rice that has been in the refrigerator for a day or 2. It will give that nice texture compared to the rice that has just been cooked.
And the more garlic you use, the better!!
An advantage of this dish is that it is very easy to make and it doesn’t take much time either.
If you love garlic, you should give this a try! even though you had it already.. and obviously loved it, it won’t harm if you make it again and again and again.. right?!
Here’s how to make Garlic Fried Rice.
❤️L
Overnight No-Cook Oatmeal in a Jar
A great way to bring a day or 2-day old rice to yummy goodness! Give it a try… you won’t regret it!
Ingredients:
Directions:
In a large wok or pan, heat the oil in medium heat.
When the oil is warm enough add the garlic. Stir-fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes. It should look golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic.;
Add the cooked rice into the pan. Also, add the salt and pepper.
Stir to coat the rice with the garlic and oil. Let it cook for a few more minutes stirring occasionally to make sure the rice won’t get burned. Cook for 5 or more minutes depending on how you like your rice to be cooked. Some people like it toasted a little bit, some like it just warm enough
It is optional but you can add more roasted or fried garlic for garnishing for more garlic flavor.
