Fried rice is an important component of some Asian cuisines, particularly in the regions of East, Southeast and South Asia. Fried rice is eaten with the same approach as fried noodles. It can be an accompaniment or a meal on its own. In the Philippines, the simplest fried rice is just seasoned with salt with a lot of toasted garlic. It is locally called sinangag and typically served for breakfast with egg and fried meat to complete the silog dish. Si is an abbreviation of sinangag while log is the abbreviation for itlog, meaning egg in Filipino. So if fried chicken is added, the meal is called chicksilog.
This recipe is a vegetarian fried rice. It is seasoned with soy sauce to achieve that Asian taste. The key to this perfectly seasoned and fluffy fried rice is using cold cooked rice. It makes the rice grainy and less moist so it easily absorbs all the flavorings added to it. This fried rice is perfect for any main dish for lunch or dinner.
