Tocino Fried Rice

No one can resist the charm of a nice old-fashioned tocino, with its sweet, thin strips of succulent pork! Tocino, the Spanish term for “bacon,” is used in this country to refer to something else than the dish that the Spanish are familiar with. Pork belly is neither cured or smoked in Europe; instead, pork cubes are fried and then added to other traditional recipes. This is in stark contrast to tocino in the Philippines, which is a meal in and of itself! Tocino has a sweet but savory flavor that everyone enjoys. Sugar, salt, and even pineapple juice are commonly used in marinades to add a sense of tartness. You may either fry it in oil or cook it over medium heat and render the fat. Others may choose to simply boil it in water. Whatever way you prepare tocino, the end result is always delicious and delectable!

One of the most common ways to consume tocino is, of course, at breakfast! Everyone has heard of the -silog meal combination. A traditional Filipino breakfast consists of your choice of viand, an egg (scrambled or sunny side up—whatever you choose), and excellent garlic rice. Tapsilog and longsilog are two popular examples. But there’s no denying that tosilog ranks high on the list of favorite breakfasts! The sweetness of tocino complements the umami rice and creaminess of your egg perfectly. Not to mention the invigorating kick that a serving of atchara can bring! Putting all of these ingredients together results in a flavor explosion in your mouth—in the nicest manner possible!

When it’s the right color brown, take it out of the pan and cut it into pieces to serve. Then put it away while you make your eggs. After beating your three eggs, you can fry them in the same pan after heating it up again and adding two more tablespoons of cooking oil. When you’re done frying your eggs, put them on a clean plate and cut them into smaller pieces.

You know how to make tacos and eggs. Now you have to make the rest of your tocino fried rice, including the rice. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the same pan, then add your tocino. Just cook the tocino in the pan for about 30 seconds, then add the fried rice you already made. We think that the best serving size for a family is about 5 cups. Turn the rice over and let it cook for another 3 minutes. Then, add soy sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. These will add more flavor and dressing to your dish, especially to the umami taste of your soy sauce.

Have you mixed all the items together well? Add your carrots and green peas at this point. Cook for another 2 minutes before putting the egg slices back in the pan. In the last 30 seconds, give your tocino fried rice a good stir to make sure everything is well mixed.
