Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Oil
  • 12-15 cloves Garlic (chopped)
  • 1 medium Spring onion bulb (finely sliced)
  • Salt
  • 2 cups Cooked rice (leftover)
  • 3 tbsp Spring Onion greens (chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in the wok, and add garlic. Fry it till it turns golden brown on medium flame.
  • Add sliced scallions, and saute for 30 seconds on high flame.
  • Now add leftover rice into the mix and combine it properly with the oil, garlic, and scallions. Keep the flame on high, and spread the rice evenly so that they are fried evenly, and get subtly brownish.
  • Garnish the rice with chopped onion greens, and serve it hot.

Notes

  • Add veggies: To make it more veggie-loaded, you can add diced onions, capsicum, and tomatoes. You can also add tofu, chicken, or eggs to make it protein-packed.
  • Use freshly cooked rice: I don't recommend it because the flavor profile completely changes for the better when incorporated with leftover rice, but if you are craving it and don't have leftover rice, you can cook it on the spot. Just remember to let them cool down thoroughly so they do not stick together when frying.
 
How to store:
Sinangag can be stored in the refrigerator easily for 3-4 days by placing it in an air-tight container.
I prefer you avoid freezing it because the texture of the rice after thawing will alter and they'll become mushy.
