Steps and instructions

  3. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and onion and sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
  4. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and scramble until cooked to your liking.
  5. Return the hotdogs to the pan and toss everything together. If you like, you can add some soy sauce for extra flavor.

Origin stories

Hotdogsilog is a delightful combination of components inspired by the Philippines' love for silog meals. "Silog" is a term derived from the combination of "sinangag" (fried rice) and "itlog" (egg). Various dishes use this base with a variety of main ingredients, giving us creations like tapsilog (with beef), tocilog (with sweet pork), and of course, hotdogsilog (with hotdogs). The introduction of hotdogs into these traditional Filipino breakfasts is a nod to the strong American influence in the country post-World War II. It's a testament to the Filipino culture's adaptability and resilience, marrying local and foreign influences to create dishes that are uniquely their own. It is simple, comforting, and oh-so-delicious, making it a popular choice for breakfast or any time of the day.
