Description

This Filipino coconut garlic fried rice (sinangag) recipe combines jasmine rice with garlic, coconut cream, and fish sauce to make a quick and easy dish.

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 (15 ounce) can unsweetened coconut cream
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fish sauce

Directions

1 Place rice in a large bowl with enough water to cover by a few inches; swirl with your fingers, then drain. Repeat until water runs clear, about 3 times.
2 Combine rice, 1 ½ cups water, coconut cream, turmeric, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Chill, uncovered, 2 to 4 hours to overnight.
3 Heat coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat. Add garlic; cook until it just begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add rice and spread in an even layer; cook, without stirring, until lightly browned and crisp on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Add fish sauce; cook, stirring, until fully combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
