🍚 Fried Rice with Sausage and Egg

Ingredients (2–3 servings):

• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old, chilled rice for best texture)
• 2 sausages (smoked, chicken, or beef; sliced into thin rounds)
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
• ½ cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, optional)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (light soy works best)
• 1 tsp oyster sauce (optional, adds richness)
• 1 tsp sesame oil (for aroma, optional)
• 2 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
• 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)
• Salt & black pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare rice – If using fresh rice, spread it on a tray and let it cool so it doesn’t clump.
2. Cook the sausage – Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large pan. Fry the sausage slices until browned and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
3. Scramble the eggs – In the same pan, add a little oil if needed. Pour in beaten eggs, scramble lightly until just set, then push to the side or remove.
4. Sauté aromatics – Add 1 tbsp oil, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.
5. Add vegetables – Toss in peas, carrots, and corn (if using) and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes.
6. Mix rice – Add the cooked rice. Break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry on high heat.
7. Season – Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well.
8. Combine – Add back sausage and scrambled eggs. Stir everything together for 2 minutes until heated through.
9. Finish – Sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Serve hot!

🍴 Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with cucumber slices or chili sauce for a quick meal.
• Add extra fried egg on top for a “sunny-side-up” version.
• Can be served as a main dish or a side dish.

❓ FAQs

Q1: Can I use freshly cooked rice?
👉 Yes, but day-old rice is best because it’s firmer and less sticky. If using fresh rice, spread it on a tray and let it cool for 20–30 minutes.

Q2: What kind of sausage works best?
👉 Smoked beef or chicken sausage adds great flavor. You can also use hot dogs, chorizo, or even leftover breakfast sausages.

Q3: How do I prevent mushy fried rice?
👉 Use cold rice, cook on high heat, and don’t add too much sauce. Stir quickly to keep grains separate.

Q4: Can I make it spicy?
👉 Yes! Add chopped chilies, chili flakes, or drizzle chili oil when stir-frying.

Q5: Can I make this vegetarian?
👉 Absolutely. Skip the sausage and use extra vegetables, tofu, or mushrooms instead.

Q6: How do I store leftovers?
👉 Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot pan or microwave.

Q7: Can I add other proteins?
👉 Yes, shrimp, chicken, or beef strips go great with this recipe. Just cook them before adding the rice.
