The Story
Longsilog is longganisa + sinangag + itlog—the sweet-garlicky cousin of tapsilog and tocilog. Carinderias fry links until the skin blisters and the fat turns sticky, then plate them beside rice and a runny yolk.
Use store-bought links for speed, or make a batch of homemade longganisa and freeze links for busy mornings. Vigan (extra garlicky) and Lucban (herby) styles both work; the photo shows classic sweet Filipino links with a vinegar-chili dip.
Plate it the silugan way: mound the garlic rice, set the egg on top, tuck sausages to the side, and add atchara plus tomato and cucumber to cut the richness.
Best paired with
Sukang maasim with siling labuyo, atchara, sliced tomato and cucumber, and hot coffee

Lola's Tips
- ✦Homemade longganisa? See our longganisa recipe—freeze links and fry straight from the freezer (add a few extra minutes covered).
- ✦Three links per plate matches a typical silugan portion; use 4 per person if your sausages are small.
- ✦Day-old rice makes the best sinangag; freshly cooked rice can turn mushy.
- ✦Prick, steam, then uncover to crisp—skipping the covered step leaves raw centers.
- ✦Lucban-style longganisa is herby and less sweet; Vigan-style loves extra vinegar on the side.
Substitutions
- fresh longganisa → frozen longganisa links (thaw 10 minutes in the fridge first)
- white vinegar → cane vinegar (sukang tuba) for a milder tang

Instructions
- 1
Prick each longganisa link with a fork so they do not burst. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Fry sausages, turning, until lightly browned. Add 2–3 tbsp water, cover, and steam 6–8 minutes until cooked through. Uncover and fry until the skin is glossy and slightly charred. Set aside.
- 2
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté crushed garlic until golden (do not burn). Add rice and stir-fry over high heat until heated through and fragrant. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.
- 3
Fry eggs sunny-side up in a separate pan until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny.
- 4
Mound garlic rice on each plate and place one fried egg on top of the rice. Arrange 3 longganisa links per plate. Add atchara, tomato, and cucumber on the side. Serve vinegar with sliced chilies for dipping.
