Tosilog

Sweet cured pork tocino, garlic-fried rice, and a sunny-side-up egg make this colorful Filipino breakfast both comforting and satisfying.

  • Tosilog (TOH-see-log) – A combination of tocino, sinangag (Filipino fried rice), and itlog (eggs). 

  • Tocino (toh-SEE-noh) – comes from the Spanish word “tocino,” which traditionally refers to pork belly or salted pork fat. Spain’s version is usually uncured pork fat or bacon-like cuts, used in cooking rather than eaten on its own.
