Tapa as a rice topping can still work as a dish, like in the traditional tapsilog, with all the scrumptious components tucked in a cozy bowl. However, instead of the usual salty tapa taste, try changing the meat’s marinade to a Mongolian, garlicky or sweet tasting one, which Pinoys are most fond of. You could also try adding variety and colour by including some stir-fried leafy greens like spinach.
