Sinangag is a simple yet flavorful Filipino dish made from day-old white rice stir-fried with lots of minced garlic in oil, sometimes topped with salt or crispy bits of fried garlic. Originating from Luzon, Philippines, it’s commonly prepared by quickly sautéing garlic until golden before tossing in the rice to absorb the aroma. Eaten primarily at breakfast, it’s a staple side dish served with eggs and meats like longganisa, tocino, or tapa, forming the popular “silog” meals. The dish’s use of leftover rice reflects a thrifty and practical cooking culture.

Common variations include adding scrambled egg, scallions, or seasoning sauces, but traditional Sinangag is kept simple and dry.
