Yield

2 servings

Ingredients

2 cups of rice (preferably day-old, for best results)

4 eggs

1 cup of longganisa (Filipino sausage), sliced into bite-sized pieces

Cooking oil as needed

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons of soy sauce (optional)

Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a pan and cook sliced longganisa until browned and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.

2. Add oil if needed, crack eggs into pan, and cook to desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3. Add more oil if needed, stir-fry rice for 4-5 minutes, breaking up clumps, until lightly toasted.

4. Season rice with salt, pepper, and optional soy sauce. Mix well.

5. Plate rice, top with egg and longganisa, and garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Day-old rice works best for stir-frying because the grains are firmer.

Feel free to swap longganisa for tocino or tapa if desired.

Optional toppings like spicy vinegar or calamansi juice add great flavor.
