Method
- Place the tocino pieces in a pan in a single layer and add enough water to just cover the meat.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the water has evaporated, the tocino renders some fat and the sugar begins to caramelise.
- Allow the tocino to fry gently in its own fat, turning occasionally, until the pieces are lightly charred at the edges and glossy. Check the thickest piece reaches 75°C for 30 seconds before serving.
- While the tocino cooks, prepare a batch of sinangag using the Sinangag (Garlic Fried Rice) recipe and fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.
- To assemble tocilog plates, mound garlic fried rice on each plate, add a portion of tocino and top with a fried egg.
- Serve immediately with spiced vinegar or toyomansi on the side and a little atchara or fresh tomato if you like.
