Filipino Coconut Garlic Fried Rice Sinangag Food

SINANGAG (GARLIC FRIED RICE)

Steps:

• In a bowl, break cold rice to separate grains.
• In a wide skillet over low heat, heat about 1/4 cup oil. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown. With a slotted spoon, remove the garlic and drain on paper towels.
• Remove excess oil except for about 1 to 2 tablespoons. Raise heat to high, swirling the oil to coat the surface of the pan.
• Add rice and cook, spreading on the surface of the pan for about 45 seconds or until grains start to sizzle and then toss to redistribute. Repeat a few times until rice is heated through.
• Return 3/4 of the garlic and toss with the fried rice until evenly distributed.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve, transfer to a serving platter and top with the remaining garlic bits.

SINANGAG (FILIPINO GARLIC FRIED RICE)

Steps:

• In a large wok or skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Stir fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes, until it turns a light golden color. Carefully remove the garlic from the pan, leaving the garlic-infused oil behind. Drain the fried garlic on paper towels until cool.
• Add the cooked rice to the garlic oil in the wok, stirring to coat all the grains with oil. Spread the rice out in the wok, covering as much surface area of the hot pan as possible. Let the rice cook, undisturbed, for 3-5 min. Stir the rice well, then spread it out again and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 min more. Continue this process until the rice is cooked to your liking.
• Once the rice is golden and starting to get crispy, return the fried garlic to the pan (saving some for garnish, if desired).
• Season the rice with salt and pepper and transfer it to a serving dish.
• Garnish with extra fried garlic and sliced scallions.
• If desired, serve the rice topped with fried eggs.

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.

SINANGAG (GARLIC FRIED RICE)

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.
