Corned Beef Ginisang
Corned Beef Ginisang
Ginisang is the Filipino version of corned beef hash. Canned corned beef gets sautéed with potatoes, cabbage, onions, and garlic. There are numerous brands of canned corned beef; some finely ground while others are chunky. I prefer to use the chunky type to get larger chunks of the beef. Ginisang is best served with a couple of fried eggs. You’ll never buy canned corned beef hash after trying this.
