Longsilog

Ingredients

• 8 Filipino sweet longanisa sausages
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 cups cold cooked white rice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 4 large eggs
• Salt, to taste
• Sliced tomato and cucumber, to serve
• Garlic vinegar, for dipping

Before you cook

• Mince the garlic.
• Break up the cold rice with your hands so it isn't clumped.

Steps

1. Place the longanisa in a cold skillet with the water.
2. Cover and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes until the water evaporates.
3. Uncover and fry the longanisa in its own rendered fat for 5 minutes, turning often, until browned all over.
4. Remove the longanisa and set aside, keeping the fat in the pan.
5. Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan if needed.
6. Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute until golden and fragrant.
7. Add the cold rice and break it up with the back of a spatula.
8. Fry the rice for 5 minutes, stirring often, until every grain is coated and slightly crisp.
9. Season the rice with salt and transfer it to plates.
10. Wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat.
11. Crack in the eggs and fry until the edges are crisp and the yolks are still runny.
12. Plate each serving with garlic rice, two pieces of longanisa, and a fried egg.
13. Serve with sliced tomato, cucumber, and garlic vinegar for dipping.
