Ingredients

Scale

For the Sinangag

  • 3 cups day-old jasmine rice (cooked, cold, fluffy)
  • 12 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (canola, vegetable, or mix with butter)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black or white pepper
  • ½ tsp MSG
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 stalks spring onions, chopped (whites + greens separated)

For the Bacon

  • 250g thick-cut bacon
  • ¼ cup water

For the Egg (Itlog)

  • 2–3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter or bacon fat
  • Pinch of salt + pepper

For the Evap Cheese Sauce

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup evaporated milk (unsweetened, warm)
  • ¾ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sinangag

  • Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat.
  • Add garlic, sauté until golden. Scoop half out for garnish.
  • Add spring onion whites, cook briefly.
  • Toss in rice, breaking up clumps. Coat evenly in garlic oil.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and MSG.
  • Drizzle soy sauce around the edges, let it sizzle, then mix in.
  • Stir-fry until hot and fluffy. Finish with spring onion greens + reserved garlic.

  1. Crispy Bacon (Water Method)

  • Place bacon in a cold pan, pour in ¼ cup water.
  • Cook over medium heat — the water will help render fat slowly and evenly.
  • When water evaporates, bacon will fry in its own fat. Flip until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain on paper towels, slice into strips.

  1. Eggs

  • Heat butter (or bacon fat) in a pan.
  • Fry eggs sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks are runny.

  1. Evap Cheese Sauce

  • In a saucepan, melt butter, stir in flour, cook 1 min.
  • Slowly whisk in evaporated milk until smooth.
  • Add cheddar cheese, stir until melted and silky.
  • Season with soy sauce,m and pepper.

  1. Assemble

  • Plate a mound of garlicky sinangag.
  • Add strips of crispy bacon.
  • Top with a sunny-side up egg.
  • Drizzle with evap cheese sauce.
  • Garnish with fried garlic and spring onion greens.
