EN: to cook rice by toasting then boiling
This is the OG way to level up your kanin. Before rice cookers, there was sigang. You toast the rice grains in a bit of oil (maybe with some garlic, if you're feeling fancy) until they're golden, then add water and boil. The result? A nutty, slightly crispy-bottomed rice that's 100x better than your sad, plain steamed rice. It's the 'extra effort' rice.
A specific cooking technique. The resulting rice is often called 'sinangag', but 'sigang' is the act of cooking it this way.
