The Garlic-Fried Rice:
- Break up the rice smoothly and set aside.

- Next add rice and stir for 1 minute.
- Then add salt & pepper and msg to taste and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Stir the rice constantly to avoid scorching.

The Plating:

the presentation is a master piece.. only shows how filipinos can be of great talent and skills when it comes to cooking..as Chef GUsto in the movie Ratatouille says “anyone can cook, but only the fearless will become successful” … this is a wonderful day to start your day..thanks for this site it helped me a lot.. kudos to the one who made this site.. two thumbs up..keep it up!
I love this site, first of all. I make this breakfast on a Sunday morning when I’m feeling like a Filipino fix. So much better when you make it yourself. I like to include some fresh melon in the end, just to make me feel better.
Thanks so much for this website! My husband is Filipino, and I love to cook, so I am so happy to be able to learn how to make his childhood favorites! Plus, one time, I tried to make the longanisa sausage and simply fried it – it ruined the pan! I was thinking I was going to have to buy a new pan everytime I made it – LOL! AND tonight I tried the pancit….you have no idea. I have tried to make it about 50 times with no success, and this one was awesome! Thanks so much!!!!
Hally,
You’re welcome! I am very glad to hear that you are able to cook that Pancit successfully this is why I have this website to lend a helping hand. Another thing when you cook Longanisa you need to put 1 cup of water and let it cook slowly, when the water evaporates then you can add 2 Tbs. of cooking oil again lower your heat down. Otherwise the sugar will burn and stick to the pan which they are nightmare to get rid off. Anyway, good luck on your cooking and keep sharing your cooking stories with us. 🙂
Cheers,

I love your blog. It makes me hungry every time. Thank you for putting it together I’m a big fan already
LongSilog is a classic. Everyone has their favorites, but it’s definitely the combination of sinangag and itlog that makes the staple breakfast meal a Filipino favorite.
