Filipino breakfast

Mix the sugar, salt, garlic, and soy sauce. Cut the meat into 5 mm thick slices and toss them in the marinade to coat the meat. The packaged meat can now be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days to marinate (the longer, the tastier!). Fry the meat in a pan, perhaps without any of the leftover sauce that has collected in the container so that nothing burns. I always add this to the meat later so that I have more sauce/syrup. It goes best with: Sinangag: fried rice with garlic, soy sauce, and onions Itlog: 1 fried egg That’s why it’s often served together and is then called Tosilog. Note: I’ve tried out various recipes and have created my own based on what I like best. You should definitely make sure that the meat isn’t too lean, as otherwise it will become too dry after frying.
