The Any-Old-How Cook takes on Fried Rice

The Any-Old-How Cook, that’s me, delights in quick and easy dishes (see also my previous blog post). I actually get to prepare this particular Fried Rice one quite often. It’s a family favourite.

Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 heaped tbsp finely chopped Chinese Sausage
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 3 heaped tbsp chopped spring onions

Method

  1. Heat oil and fry Chinese sausage until fragrant.
  2. Add garlic (you may want to lower the fire slightly as you add the garlic, as garlic tends to get burnt rather quickly).
  3. Next, add the cooked rice. Pour the soya sauce on top, and mix evenly into rice. Fry until soya sauce caramelises on the grains of rice.
  4. Make a space in the middle of the rice. Add more oil if necessary, and break the egg into the hole. Quickly scramble. Once the egg is set, mix it with the rice.
  5. Turn off the fire, stir in the fresh spring onions, and the dish is ready to serve.

I’ve put my fried rice tips (how to make better fried rice) in my Hubpages article.
