Sinangag (Tagalog pronunciation:[sinɐˈŋag]), also calledgarlic fried rice orgarlic rice, is aFilipinofried rice dish cooked bystir-frying pre-cooked rice withgarlic. The rice used is preferably stale, usually leftover cooked rice from the previous day, as it results in rice that is slightly fermented and firmer. It is optionally garnished with toasted garlic flakes and sometimes choppedscallions. The rice grains are ideally loose and not stuck together.[1][2][3][4][5]
It is rarely eaten on its own, but is usually paired with a "dry" meat dish such astocino (bacon),longganisa (sausage),tapa (dried or cured meat),Spam, ordaing (dried fish), as well as the addition of scrambled or fried eggs. Unlike other types of fried rice, it does not normally use ingredients other than garlic, in order not to overwhelm the flavour of the main dish.[1][2][4][5] In the Visayas regions of the Philippines,sinangag was traditionally seasoned withasín tibuok.[6]
Sinangag is a common part of a traditional Filipino breakfast and is usually prepared with leftover rice from the dinner before. Sometimes, it is cooked in the leftover sauces and oils fromPhilippine adobo, lesseningfood waste. Preparingsinangag from freshly-cooked rice is frowned upon in Filipino culture. It is one of the components of thetapsilog breakfast andits derivatives.[1][2][3][4][5]
Plain boiled rice (sinaing, or called by the general term for cooked rice,kanin) is sometimes topped with toasted garlic flakes and erroneously called "garlic rice", especially in lower-cost eateries and restaurants. True garlic rice orsinangag is garlicfried rice.
