Cornsilog

I prepared cornsilog today because my nephews requested for it, they said, what is "cornsilog"? Is it made with corn? I said "No, it's a meal composed of corned beef, fried rice and fried egg, in Tagalog fried rice is "sinangag" and egg is "itlog" so instead of naming it one by one they shortened it to "cornsilog". They replied with "ahhhhhhh" :-).
I prepared this by frying the eggs, then I sauteed one can of corned beef and added some onion. After I cooked the corned beef I transferred it into a bowl and put some rice in the pan where I cooked the corned beef for a savory fried rice.
Then I arranged everything in a platter and serve it with love.
My nephews where happy  and satisfied.
