Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork shoulder
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 60 milliliters Soy sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Vinegar
- 3 cups Cooked rice
- 3 Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Place it in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, red food coloring, salt, black pepper, and vinegar.
Pour the marinade over the pork slices and mix well, ensuring all pieces are fully coated.
Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to develop.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add marinated pork slices in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook each side for about 3-5 minutes until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and add the cooked rice.
Saute minced garlic in the rice and stir-fry until the rice is heated through and the garlic is golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
In a clean frying pan, fry the eggs sunny-side-up using a small amount of oil.
On each serving plate, arrange a portion of garlic fried rice, a serving of the pork tocino, and top with a sunny-side-up egg.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade tocilog!
