Ingredients

20 g salted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves minced
250 g cooked rice I used leftover rice or you could use pre-cooked bagged rice
200 g longganisa filipino sausages
2 eggs
½ cucumber diced
2 large tomatoes diced

Instructions

Place a skillet or frying pan on medium heat and add in the butter. Once melted, pour in the vegetable oil. Once hot, add in the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes until aromatic. We don't want to burn the garlic!
Add the pre-cooked leftover rice into the pan and combine with the garlicky buttery oil until well coated. Reduce the heat to low and stir from time to time.
Meanwhile, place your longganisa into a skillet/pan and pour in water so that it covers the sausages halfway up the pan. Cook the sausages until the water has evaporated (rotate the sausage every few minutes). Once the water has evaporated, fry the sausages in the fat that's been left after boiling the sausages (or add in a tad more oil) until caramelised.
Prepare the fresh salad by combining the chopped cucumber and chopped tomato with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
Place a small frying pan on medium heat and drizzle with vegetable oil. Fry your eggs and now you're ready to assemble your silog. On a plate, add the fried rice, top with an egg, and lay the sausages around the rice. Add a large spoonful of the fresh salad onto the plate, and this is your filipino-style breakfast, Silog! Enjoy!
