Instructions

Step 1

Place the garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and add enough oil to cover (at least 3 tablespoons). Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat these steps in 30-second increments until the garlic begins to brown. At this point, microwave-and-stir in 15-second increments until the garlic is burnished gold. (Depending on your microwave, this could take 2-3 minutes.)

Step 2

In a sieve set over a bowl, drain the garlic, reserving the oil. Transfer the garlic to a plate lined with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, onions, chile pepper (if using), and vinegars. Stir to combine and set aside to allow flavors to meld.

Step 4

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the reserved garlic-infused oil. Add the rice to the pan and stir continuously to break up any lumps, avoid scorching, and also coat in oil.

Step 5

Cook the rice for about 5-7 minutes or until the rice is hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the fried garlic and mix until well-blended. Add a pinch or more of fresh-cracked black pepper, to taste, and toss with rice.

Step 6

Transfer the garlic-fried rice to a plate along with the cooked luncheon meat and fried egg. Serve with sawsawan on the side.
