Garlic Fried Rice (Sinangag)

Hilda — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 10:41:56 +0000

Food sometimes intertwined with memories. Food awakens our senses, comforts it, heals and nourishes it. My childhood memories are filled with laughter and what else good food! As I enjoy my breakfast yesterday I couldn’t help but remember all those fried rice I ate growing up as a kid. My dad boasts of his greatest fried rice recipe. And I assure you it’s true. Love this simple garlic fried rice recipe!

Fried Rice Recipe (Sinangag sa Bawang)

about 2 cups of left-over rice

* It is always better to use the left over rice. Not only they are economic but it is easier to cook them than freshly cooked rice. If you are using freshly cooked rice let it stand for a while until its not hot anymore or else it will stick to your pan

some gloves of garlic pounded (you can use more or less depending on your taste)

some cooking oil

salt, pepper, a bit of soy sauce

you can add some chopped ham, grean peas or any vegetables sitting on your fridge (but they are optional)

Procedure:

You will start by mashing the rice grain by grain using a fork or your hand (its your choice). My dad normally wets up his hand to facilitate this task. Warm up your pan then put your rice that’s been separated grain by grain. The idea is that it is no longer a big mass of cooked rice. Over medium heat continue stirring the rice so it won’t stick or be burnt. When the rice is hot enough, make a small hole in the middle put your pounded garlic and your cooking oil. Brown a little bit the garlic and fold the rice. Add some salt, pepper, soy sauce to taste. Presto it’s done. You can add up also some chopped omellete, ham and some vegetables.
