A Filipino breakfast plate: sweet, garlicky homemade sausage (longganisa), garlic fried rice (sinangag) and fried egg (itlog). The sausage varies by region; this is the sweeter, skinless version.
Knead the minced meat with the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, grated garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.
With wet hands, shape into 8 sausages, about 8 cm long and finger-thick (without casing, this is skinless longganisa). Place on baking paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Put the sausages in a pan with the water and 1 tbsp oil, and simmer covered over medium heat for 8 minutes, then fry uncovered until the water evaporates and the sugar caramelises them on all sides.
For the garlic rice, fry the finely chopped garlic in a wok in 2 tbsp oil until golden brown, add the broken-up rice, season with salt, and fry over high heat for 4-5 minutes.
Fry 4 eggs in the remaining oil.
Serve rice, 2 sausages and an egg per plate, with fresh or pickled vegetables.

Tips
The shaped, raw sausages can be frozen, and can also be cooked from frozen, it just takes longer to simmer.
Because of the sweet-salty flavour, tangy atchara or a little chilli vinegar goes well with it.
