Garlic, basil and onion leaves sinangag
No big mytsery about the grilled liempo. Just make sure that the liempo slices are not too thick. Half an inch would be ideal. Then marinade them in a mixture of kalamansi (native citrus) juice, light soy sauce and plenty of finely minced garlic. And here’s a tip. If you don’t have too much time for marinating, reduce the amount of soy sauce so that the marinade is more sour than salty. Then rub the sliced liempo with refined salt. Your grilled liempo won’t taste bland even if you only have 15 minutes for marinating.
Now the sinangag… Now this is no chinese-style fried rice. This is Pinoy sinangag with a few extras.
Ingredients :
6 c. of cold cooked rice
8-10 tbsps. of used cooking oil (cooking oil that had been used for frying meat is best)
1 whole garlic, crushed, peeled and finely chopped
1 tbsp. of finely chopped basil
1 tbsp. of finely chopped sibuyas na mura (onion leaves)
salt
Cooking procedure :
Mash the rice to separate the grains.
Heat the cooking oil in a skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook gently until fragrant and the garlic bits just start to brown. Add the basil and sibuyas na mura. Turn up the heat and cook, stirring, for a few seconds. Add the rice. Sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring, until the rice is thoroughly heated through.
I wish I can describe the aroma while I cooked the sinangag but you’ll have to try it yourself to experience the whole thing. After cooking sinangag this way, I don’t think you’ll ever be content with plain garlic fried rice.

Hi Connie,
It’s me again, I’m addicted to your site.Hehe I’ve tried I think at least four of your recipes. Nagugulat nga sila sa bahay kasi lagi ako nagta-try magluto whereas before taga-kain lang ako. =P
Anyway, I just want to ask if the basil leaves that you are referring here are the one that can be bought in the supermarket? Yun mga naka-plastic na or is that dried basil? Pwede na din ba un?
Thanks!
