Here’s a twist on the classic Filipino Fried Garlic Rice or Sinangag - Chili Oil Sinangag! I love chili oil and spice so I wanted to use my homemade chili oil as a base for my garlic rice. This pairs well with your ulam or viand of choice, but you can also enjoy this as-is or mix in vegetables or protein of your choice.
