Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by breaking apart 2 cups of day-old rice using your fingers or a fork, ensuring each grain is separate to avoid clumping.
  2. Peel and prepare the garlic for frying by mincing two-thirds and slicing the remaining third.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add all the minced and sliced garlic to the pan, frying it for about 5-8 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the prepared rice to the skillet with the remaining garlic. Stir well and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of chili oil, and stir gently for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Transfer the Chili Oil Sinangag to a serving dish, topping with reserved crispy garlic bits and chopped cilantro.
