Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked rice (preferably day-old rice)
- 2 Chinese sausages (Lap Cheong)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the Chinese sausage into thin rounds. In a hot wok or large frying pan, cook the sausage over medium heat until it becomes crispy and the fat is rendered. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the onions until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Push the onions and garlic to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the other side and scramble them until just set.
- Add the cooked rice into the pan. Break up any clumps and mix well with the onion, garlic, and eggs.
- Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper, mixing well to ensure all the rice is evenly coated.
- Finally, add the crispy Chinese sausage and green onions back into the pan. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired. Enjoy your Chinese Sausage Fried Rice!
Notes
- Chinese sausage (Lap Cheong) can be found in Asian supermarkets. If you can't find it, you can substitute it with a different type of sweet sausage.
- Day-old rice works best for this recipe as it is less moist and will give you a better texture. If you only have fresh rice, try to dry it out a bit in the fridge before using.
- Feel free to add more veggies like peas, carrots, or bell peppers for a more nutritious meal.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the Chinese sausage and add tofu or more veggies instead. Replace the oyster sauce with a vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce.
