TURKEY SILOG (GARLIC FRIED RICE WITH EGGS)



Turkey Silog (Garlic Fried Rice With Eggs) image

Silog, rice bathed in lots of garlic and crowned with a runny egg, is a hearty and essential part of any Filipino breakfast, and it comes together very quickly. For Chad and Chase Valencia, brothers and owners of the Filipino restaurant Lasa, in Los Angeles, the best time to make silog is the morning after Thanksgiving, when they top it with seared leftover turkey (or ham), and gravy to moisten the bits of rice. You're going to have to plan ahead for this recipe, as it's best made with day-old rice; freshly made rice won't get as crisp in the pan. And don't be intimidated by the amount of garlic here - it all mellows out, while still providing a potent punch. Chad notes that this dish will work in almost any nonstick pan, except for a steel or aluminum-bottomed pan; you could even use a well-seasoned cast-iron pan or wok.

Categories     breakfast, grains and rice, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup canola or other neutral oil, plus more as needed
8 to 12 garlic cloves, to taste, peeled and ends trimmed
Kosher salt
8 cups day-old cooked white jasmine rice
1 to 1 1/2 cups leftover gravy (omit if using ham)
1 1/2 pounds leftover turkey or ham, sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 eggs

Steps:

  • Make the garlic fried rice: Heat a large nonstick pan (preferably 10 inches) over a medium-low flame, then add 6 tablespoons of the oil and garlic cloves. Season the cloves with a pinch of salt. Cook, turning the cloves occasionally, until they are brown and soft, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Remove half the oil and half the garlic cloves from the pan and set aside in a small heat-proof bowl. Using a rubber spatula or the back of a wooden spoon, smash the remaining garlic in the pan to an almost rough paste. Before the smashed garlic turns golden, crank up the heat, add half the rice and spread to cover the surface of the pan. It will pop and sizzle - that's good. Let sit for 30 seconds, then toss and mix the rice in the pan. Spread the rice out, then let sit again for another 30 seconds. Adjust the salt and transfer to a large plate. Lightly cover the plate with foil.
  • Wipe out the pan, add the reserved garlic cloves and their oil and repeat with remaining rice.
  • If using turkey and gravy, warm the gravy in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it's hot.
  • Meanwhile, reheat the turkey (or ham): Wipe out the pan, return it to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil starts to smoke slightly, gently lay the meat in pan and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. (You may need to do this in batches, adding oil as needed.) Transfer to a plate and season with salt to taste. Cover with foil and wipe out the pan.
  • Return the pan to medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Break eggs into pan and cook just until egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny. Season with salt to taste.
  • To serve, place a few scoops of garlic fried rice on each plate. Layer seared turkey or ham slices on top of the rice. If you're using turkey, sauce the meat with a few spoonfuls of gravy. Top each serving with a fried egg.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, good quality turkey, and fluffy rice are essential.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, or to try new ones.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time for best results. This will help it to be light and fluffy, and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the rice. This will give it plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much rice, it will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Stir the rice frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the vegetables and turkey towards the end of the cooking time, so that they do not overcook.
  • Season the rice to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the rice immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Turkey fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey after a holiday meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
