How to Cook Pork Tocino Rice Bowl
1. Cook the Tocino
Place the Pork Kasim in a pan with a bit of water. Simmer over medium heat until the water evaporates. Add the sugar. Then add a bit of oil and cook until the meat is caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges.
2. Prepare the Garlic Rice
Sauté minced garlic in oil until golden. Add day-old rice and season with salt or a bit of soy sauce.
3. Fry the Egg
Cook your egg sunny side up (or soft-boil for a ramen-style bowl). The runny yolk adds richness to the dish.
4. Assemble the Bowl
In a bowl, add a scoop of garlic rice, top with tocino, egg, pickled veggies, and finish with optional sesame seeds, chili oil, or green onions.
Pro Tip: Drizzle with a sweet-soy glaze or garlic mayo for extra flavor.
Why Use Frozen Pork Tocino?
Using frozen pork tocino offers the perfect balance of convenience, quality, and flavor, especially for busy households or food businesses. Unlike freshly marinated tocino that requires time and preparation, frozen pork tocino is pre-marinated, vacuum-sealed, and ready to cook anytime. It eliminates the guesswork, giving you consistently sweet, savory, and tender meat with every serving.
Plus, freezing locks in freshness and extends shelf life, making it easy to stock up without worrying about spoilage. Whether you're preparing “silog” meals for your family or running a food tray business, frozen tocino helps you save time while still delivering that classic Filipino taste everyone loves.
This next-level Pork Tocino Rice Bowl proves that with a few upgrades, a Filipino classic can become a gourmet meal. Whether you're feeding the family, prepping for your baon, or building your food tray menu, this recipe is easy, elevated, and delicious.
