Corned Beef is a big deal in Filipino Cooking. Like, a really big deal. Chances are, if you look in the pantry of a Filipino Household, it's pretty likely that you'll find a few cans of Corned Beef sitting pretty on the shelf. Corned Beef, served with eggs and rice (cornsilog) is an extremely popular breakfast meal in Filipino cuisine

Just like a good corned beef hash that you can find at an American Diner, we love to think of these corned beef meals as the perfect comfort food. Such a quick and filling meal that soothes the soul. While it is commonly had for breakfast, corned beef and rice can be enjoyed for lunch, merienda and dinner. The best time for corned beef is really any time!

When cooking a delicious can of corned beef, Filipinos love to glow it up with cubed potatoes, diced onions, minced garlic, chopped tomatoes, and sometimes even chopped green onions and fried garlic chips. Love corned beef hash for breakfast? Do yourself a favor, and try it Filipino Style.
