Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups white rice or grain of choice (cooked and cooled)
- 1 head garlic (peeled and minced or roughly chopped)
Seasonings:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) homemade chili oil or garlic chili oil with sediment
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt, or more to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Gently separate cold, day-old rice grains to prevent clumping during the frying process, ensuring each grain remains distinct and ready for optimal flavor absorption.
- Warm a spacious wok or non-stick skillet over medium heat, carefully introducing aromatic chili oil with its rich sediments and a precise sprinkle of salt to establish a robust flavor foundation.
- Introduce finely minced garlic into the heated oil, carefully monitoring its transformation to a delicate golden hue, which will infuse the dish with a deep, nutty essence.
- Cascade the prepared rice into the pan, meticulously breaking down any remaining clusters while gently tossing to distribute the chili oil and garlic evenly throughout the grains.
- Allow the rice to sizzle and crisp, stirring consistently to prevent sticking and encourage uniform caramelization, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and chili oil to heighten the taste profile.
- Once the rice achieves a tantalizing golden-brown complexion and releases an enticing aroma, remove from heat and optionally mold into an elegant dome using a serving bowl.
- Artfully garnish with freshly chopped cilantro to introduce a vibrant, herbaceous note that complements the rich, spicy undertones of the sinangag.
- Present alongside traditional Filipino accompaniments like Tofu Sisig, Adobo, or Mushroom Tocino, creating a harmonious and satisfying culinary experience.
Notes
- Transform leftover rice into a crispy, flavor-packed dish by breaking apart cold refrigerated grains.
- Sizzle chili oil with its rich sediments in a hot wok, creating a spicy aromatic base that elevates basic fried rice.
- Golden-brown garlic infuses depth, while continuous stirring ensures each rice grain gets perfectly toasted and seasoned.
