Step 1

Use your hands to break up any clumps of rice.

Step 2

In a large frying pan, add the olive oil and garlic and heat over medium-high heat, stirring regularly to ensure even browning. Fry the garlic until most of the sizzling subsides and the garlic is a golden brown color.

Step 3

Remove half of the garlic from the pan, leaving the oil behind.

Step 4

Add the rice and toss to coat evenly with the oil and garlic.

Step 5

Stir-fry the rice until it's heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Serve the Sinangag hot and garnish with the reserved garlic. You can also top with some scallions for color.
