Chinese Sausage Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups diced Chinese sweet sausage (casings removed)
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 3 scallions, chopped (whites and greens separated)
• 2 medium cloves garlic, finely minced
• Vegetable oil for skillet
• 4 cups day-old cooked jasmine rice ((see note))
• 1/3 cup frozen green peas, thawed
• Salt to taste
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce ((light or regular))
• 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
• 4 teaspoons water
• A dash of ground white pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, and a dash of white pepper until well combined. Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs, and cook breaking them up into smaller pieces with your spatula. Transfer cooked eggs to a plate. Set aside.

3. 3

   Increase to high heat. Heat about 1 more tablespoon in the wok or skillet, and stir-fry the diced sausage for a few seconds until slightly golden brown. Tip: This is quick, don’t let them burn.

4. 4

   Next, add the minced garlic and sliced scallions (white parts only), and stir-fry for another 15 seconds or until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the rice and cook until it is warmed up, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Give the rice a few tosses with the spatula. Add peas and continue stir-frying until warmed up. Tip: The rice grains should be separated at this point. No clumps should remain. If needed, drizzle some more oil.

6. 6

   Give the prepared sauce another quick whisk, and gradually add it to the fried rice. Toss to combine until the rice is evenly coated with the sauce. Season with salt to taste. Tip: If using a wok, add the sauce around the sides of the wok so that it drizzles down. If using a skillet, you can just drizzle over the rice.

7. 7

   Return eggs and add the scallions (green parts only), and combine. Garnish with more sliced scallions if desired. Serve and enjoy!
