Silog

Silog is the classic Filipino breakfast: garlic fried rice, a fried egg and marinated meat, often beef or pork in a sweet-savory marinade. Its name combines "sinangag" (fried rice) and "itlog" (egg).

Instructions

  1. Mix the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, one crushed garlic clove, the onion and the pepper. Add the meat and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
  2. Finely chop the remaining 2 garlic cloves. In a large hot pan with 2 tablespoons of oil, brown the garlic, then add the cold rice and break it up.
  3. Stir-fry the rice over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Season lightly with salt and keep warm.
  4. Drain the meat and sear it over high heat in 1 tablespoon of oil, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until caramelized at the edges.
  5. In another oiled pan, cook the eggs sunny-side up over medium heat until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
  6. Plate the rice, meat and egg side by side on each plate, and serve with cucumber rounds and tomato wedges.

Variations and tips

Tapsilog. Replace the meat with tapa (dried beef) marinated in soy sauce and grated coconut.

With what you can find. Beef in soy and sugar can easily be replaced with pork spare ribs or thinly sliced chicken.
