Mar's Yang Chow Fried Rice

What Is Yang Chow Fried Rice?

Yang Chow fried rice is the Filipino-Chinese classic that shows up on every celebration table: day-old rice fried hard and fast with egg, pork, shrimp and vegetables until each grain is separate and lightly toasted. In the Philippines it is the default rice for a shared meal, and it is what you build a party spread around.

Ours is the house version — Mar's Yang Chow Fried Rice — seasoned the way the Ocampo family has always made it.

How We Cook It at Mar's Sisig

The rice goes into a hot wok and is kept moving so it fries rather than steams. Egg is scrambled through, pork and shrimp are folded in, and the seasoning stays light enough that the rice can carry richer dishes without competing with them.

That is exactly why it anchors all three of our Family Bundle sets — it is the plate everything else is spooned over.
