Ingredients

2 cans canned corned beef
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 Roma tomato, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tsp fish sauce (patis)
4 cups steamed white rice
4 large eggs
2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

1

Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium thinly sliced yellow onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
2

Add 5 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
3

Add 2 diced Roma tomato and 1 diced green bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes break down and the pepper softens, about 3 minutes.
4

Add 2 cans canned corned beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir to combine with the vegetables. Add 2 tsp fish sauce (patis) and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until the corned beef is heated through and starting to crisp at the edges.
5

In a separate pan, fry 4 large eggs to your preferred doneness.
6

Serve the guisado over 4 cups steamed white rice, topped with a fried egg and 2 sliced green onions.
