As requested, this is the recipe for the fried rice I serve…when there’s barely anything edible in the fridge.
Ingredients:
Rice (frozen/fridged overnight….frozen cooked rice can keep for a LONG time)
Chinese sausages (steam and then thinly sliced diagonally)
Shallots/spring onions
2-3 Eggs
Soy Sauce
Sugar
Sesame Oil (sorry)
Chicken flavoured seasoning powder (sorry)
Oil
Corn (not traditional, but adds a nice sweet crunch)
Method
1. Heat the pan and add 1 tbs of oil
2. Finely chop the shallots (dispose the stringy part of the root)
3. Throw the white parts(where the onion like flavour is intense) in with the heated oil and save the rest for later
4. Simmer the shallots in the oil for a minutes before adding the Chinese sausages
5. Once the oil from the Chinese sausages starts to come out, add the rice and cook/stir until the rice softens.
6. Then add 2-3 tbs of soy sauce (depending on the brand you have an the amount of rice you’ve added), along with a tsp of sesame oil, chicken powder and sugar.
7. Beat the eggs and push aside rice on the pan to make room for the eggs so that the eggs will have direct contact with the pan, and not just soak among the rice.
8. Turn up the heat up and pour the beaten eggs on to the pan, and as the egg cooks, mix it in with the rice.
9. Turn off the heat.
10. Sprinkle the remainder of the shallots and stir it into the hot rice, and lightly cook the shallots using the residual heat of the pan/in the rice mix.
…Serves as much people as you’ve prepared rice and Chinese sausages for…
