Ingredients

  • 2 cans canned corned beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 5 cloves 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. 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. 2

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

  3. 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. 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. 5

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

  6. 6

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