Filipino Daingsilog Recipe | Garlic-Marinated Fish, Fried Rice and Egg

0 likes 0 reviews 13 views

Filipino Daingsilog is a beloved Filipino breakfast featuring daing (fish marinated with garlic, vinegar, and seasonings), sinangag (garlic fried rice), and itlog (fried egg). A popular version uses daing na bangus, or marinated milkfish, which becomes wonderfully crisp and golden when pan-fried. The fish's tangy garlic marinade pairs beautifully with fragrant rice and a freshly cooked egg, creating a hearty breakfast full of traditional Filipino flavors.

This comforting silog meal is often served with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, or spiced vinegar for extra freshness and tang. The fish can be marinated ahead of time, making preparation easier on busy mornings. Whether enjoyed as a weekend breakfast or a satisfying brunch, Daingsilog is a delicious way to experience the simple, savory flavors of Filipino home cooking.

Cooking Method

Prepare the marinade: Combine the vinegar, crushed garlic, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.
Marinate the fish: Add the fish and coat it with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes. Drain and pat dry before frying.
Fry the fish: Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish until golden and crisp, about 4–6 minutes per side depending on thickness, and until fully cooked. Work in batches if necessary.
Cook the garlic: In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until lightly golden and fragrant.
Fry the rice: Add the chilled rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 4–6 minutes until thoroughly heated. Taste before adding salt.
Fry the eggs: Cook the eggs in a lightly oiled skillet until the whites are set and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
Assemble the plates: Divide the garlic rice among four plates. Add a portion of fried fish and one egg to each plate.
Serve: Enjoy hot with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, or spiced vinegar.
