EN: to toast; to pan-fry without oil
Before you get your glorious *sinangag* (garlic fried rice), you must first understand *sangag* the verb. It's the act of toasting something dry in a hot pan. Think toasting garlic until it's fragrant, roasting peanuts, or making desiccated coconut. It's the 'dry' part of the cooking process, the opposite of *gisa* which uses oil. It's the first step to unlocking a deeper flavor.
From Proto-Philippine *saŋlag.
This is a root word. It needs affixes to become a verb, e.g., 'sangagin' (to toast something), 'isangag' (to toast something).
