Garlic fried rice / filipino garlic fried rice.

Garlic Fried Rice is a favourite dish of Filipinos. It’s also called sinangag in the Philippines. Today I am going to include a very popular garlic fried rice recipe in the Philippines. I love to eat rice. Apart from plain rice, I prefer fried rice in most of my recipes. which includes Jeera rice, lemon rice, and mixed vegetable fried rice. Stale, cooked rice tastes better than fresh rice. Stale rice kept in the fridge is easy to fry and remains crispy. In comparison, if we use freshly cooked rice for Garlic Fries Rice, it looks soggy and sticky. Stale cooked rice is a good substitute for fries, which can also save us from food waste. Whenever I make plain rice, I keep the leftover rice in the fridge. so that I can use it to make any fried rice.
