• 2 cups of chilled white rice
• 1-2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

Longanisa:

1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat.

5. When the water is gone let the longanisa begin to fry in it's own oil.
6. Continue to fry the longanisa for about 5 minutes while constantly rolling the longanisa to cook them evenly.
7. When the longanisa is slightly crisp on the outside, it's done.

Garlic Fried Rice:

4. Add the rice to the pan then press it down into the oil and garlic.
5. Stir and mix the rice constantly to avoid scorching.
6. Cook the rice for about 5-7 minutes or until the rice is hot and well blended

8. Transfer the garlic fried rice into a plate along with your cooked fried eggs and longanisa.
9. Prepare some freshly sliced tomatoes as a side dish if you want.
10. Enjoy!

You can mix in a little bit of butter or margarine while cooking the rice so it's easier to break it down. Don't add too much because it will make the rice too oily.
