Description
A quick and delicious fried rice recipe featuring sausage and vegetables, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old for better texture)
- 200g sausage, sliced
- 2 eggs
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, corn, carrots)
Instructions
-
Prepare Ingredients: Dice the onion and bell pepper. Slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Beat the eggs and add a pinch of salt.
-
Cook the Sausages: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add sausage slices and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, add the beaten eggs. Scramble them lightly and remove from the pan once cooked. Set aside.
-
Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir-fry the onion and bell pepper until they start to soften. If using, add mixed vegetables and continue stirring for a couple more minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs to the pan. Add the cooked rice, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
-
Flavor the Rice: Add soy sauce and barbecue sauce. Stir continuously to ensure the rice is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Final Touches: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
-
Rice Texture: Use day-old rice for better texture. Freshly cooked rice can become too sticky.
-
Vegan Option: Replace sausage with a plant-based alternative and omit the eggs.
-
Add Spice: For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes.
-
Customize Vegetables: Feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on preference or availability.
-
Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of fresh salad or coleslaw for a refreshing contrast.
