If you live in the Philippines, you will know that rice is always served at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That is because it is considered the most popular and favorite staple food among the locals.
Unlike other countries, we love to serve rice dishes at breakfast with egg and hot drinks. If you tried a popular fast-food chain called Jollibee, they serve this famous breakfast meal called Silog.
What is Silog?
Silog is a breakfast meal that is composed of Filipino garlic fried rice called Sinangag, fried egg, and any choices of protein meat.
There are many kinds of silog which the name is based on the choice of meats, most of them are processed meats. These choices include luncheon meat, hot dog, beef tapa, corned beef, longganiza, tocino, and many more others.
In my opinion, it may not be healthy, but it is a delicious meal which will satisfy your stomach. You can find it in Jollibee, hotels that serve breakfast, and other small eateries.
In this post, I will be sharing the recipe of one of my favorite breakfast recipes called cornsilog.
Recipe Ingredients
Here are the list of ingredients I am using to make my delicious cornsilog recipe:
Corned Beef: I am using canned corned beef which you can find in most Filipino grocery stores. It doesn't matter what brand is this canned good, but to me, I prefer Purefood brand since it tastes better.
Fried Rice: To make sinangag (Fried rice), I am using a bowl of leftover white rice that I cooked yesterday. Also, you need vegetable oil and chopped garlic to saute the fried rice.
Danngit: This is just optional, but I like to add a salted dried fish called Danngit, which you can also find in any local grocery store. It is a low sodium dried fish, so it is not salty to eat it.
Other ingredients: The rest of the ingredients you need include egg where you can to make sunny-side-up; chopped onion for sautéing the corned beef; and salt & black pepper for seasoning.
