Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground pork — Ensure that the ground pork has a good balance of fat and lean meat for juicy and flavorful longganisa sausages.
- Soy sauce — Opt for a high-quality soy sauce to enhance the umami flavors in the longganisa.
- Vinegar — Use a mild vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, to add a subtle tanginess to the sausages.
- Garlic — Freshly minced garlic is essential for the aromatic garlic fried rice. Use a garlic press or finely mince the garlic by hand for the best results.
- Eggs — For perfectly cooked sunny-side up eggs, heat the skillet on medium-low heat and cover it with a lid to gently cook the eggs without flipping them.
Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a spicier longganisa, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the pork mixture.
- For a healthier version, you can use lean ground pork or substitute it with ground chicken or turkey.
- To achieve a more pronounced garlic flavor in the fried rice, you can infuse the oil with garlic by sautéing the minced garlic in the oil before adding the rice.
- Serve Longsilog with a side of vinegar dipping sauce for an extra tangy kick.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought longganisa sausages instead of making them from scratch.
Serving advice
Serve the Longsilog hot and fresh for the best experience. Pair it with a cup of hot coffee or a refreshing glass of calamansi juice to complete your Filipino breakfast feast.
Presentation advice
Arrange the longganisa sausages neatly on top of the garlic fried rice, with the sunny-side up egg placed delicately on the side. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
