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.

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.
FILIPINO COCONUT GARLIC FRIED RICE (SINANGAG)
This super-delicious rice can be made mostly ahead of time. You need the steamed rice to cool and dry out a bit before you fry it anyway. The final result is addictive and goes with everything on this menu, so I like to make 2 batches--one plain and one with the optional turmeric--which adds a little extra flavor and a pretty orange color.

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. Cook, without stirring, until lightly browned and crisp on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Add fish sauce. Cook, stirring, until fully combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Tips:
- Use day-old rice. This will help the rice grains stay separate and not become mushy.
- Rinse the rice well before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice grains cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok. This will allow the rice to spread out and cook evenly.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the rice. This will help the rice grains brown and become crispy.
- Stir the rice constantly while cooking. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Add the garlic and other seasonings towards the end of cooking. This will help the flavors to infuse into the rice without burning.
- Serve the sinangag immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Sinangag is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
