Chinese Fried Rice

This is probably the easiest dish to make and definitely a go to for my family (especially when we have leftover white rice)! For best results, you should only fry 1 portion at a time, else the rice will clump together. I usually eyeball all the ingredients that I use - looking for a good mix of color and adequate bits of shrimp and sausage. You can definitely substitute shrimp and sausage with chopped chicken / pork.


Ingredients (1 portion) :
1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked white rice
Vegetable oil
1/2 small onion chopped
1 sprint onion chopped
1 egg beaten (seasoned with soy and pepper)
Handful of shrimp - shelled, deveined, halved
1/2 chinese sausage (sliced thinly)
Handful of frozen mixed peas and carrots (defrosted)
Thin Soy Sauce to taste
Pepper to taste


Method :
Heat pan with oil till smoking hot.
Stir fry onion and sausage till fragrant.
Toss in shrimp and stir fry till slightly opaque.
Push the onions, sausage and shrimp to side of pan, and pour in 1/2 beaten egg. Scramble till cooked.
(Note : Reduce heat of pan when needed!)
Stir in white rice, breaking up any clumps. Mix well with the rest of the ingredients in the pan.
Pour in the rest of the beaten egg, over the rice, cooking it through.
Toss in the mixed vegetables. Continue frying till everything cooked and heated through.
Season with soy sauce and pepper to taste.
Dish and serve immediately.
