Filipino Sinangag - Garlic and Egg Fried Rice (Easy Vegan Option)

Garlic adds an amazing taste to dishes. Interestingly not everyone loves it. You are either a lover or a hater. I totally love it. So when someone says, Garlic Rice I jump in. That is exactly what happened. When Radhika made this here, I wanted to make it the same day. Am so glad I tried it.

It is a great way to use up left over rice. It will make an awesome lunch box recipe as well. Do not look at the quantity of garlic and think it is too much. This recipe serves 5-6 ppl. Also add the oil specified. The garlic absorbs a lot of oil. So adding this much oil gives you some garlic oil to coat the rice with. Chilli Paste will taste better I think. But I did not have, so used Chilli  Sauce. It gave a mild sweet taste. If using Chilli Paste add just 1 or 2 tbsp.



Ingredients

Rice 2 cups (uncooked) - 6 cups cooked
Garlic 1/2 cup Pealed and Crushed
Oil 1/4 cup
Chilli Sauce 5-6 tbsp
Salt to taste

Spring Onions to garnish

Method of Preparation

1. Cook the rice with enough water. Let it cool completely.

2. In a pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic and roast till it is nicely browned.

3. Add the chilli sauce and saute for another minute.

4. Switch off and add the rice along with required salt. Mix well.

5. Garnish with some spring onions

Serve with a side dish or egg if you prefer.
