Special Fried Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 or 2 tbsp Groundnut Oil. Any oil will do but groundnut oil has a very high smoke point or temperature at which it will burn which makes it ideal for stir fries
  • 2 Lap Chong/Chinese Sausages thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • Salt and ground white pepper
  • 150 grams of cooked and cooled rice
  • A handful of frozen peas
  • 4 anchovy fillets from a can finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 spring onions sliced

Instructions

  1. As with all wok dishes, get all your prep done first as you will have little or no time once the actual cooking process starts. If you don’t have a wok, you can make do with a large, non-stick frying pan.

  2. Heat up the wok, add the oil and fry the sliced lap chong on both sides until cooked through, this won’t take long depending on how thick or thin your slices are. Mine were slightly different thicknesses so some ended up being on the crispy side, which was fine. Remove the sausage from the wok and set aside. Season the beaten egg with salt and pepper and pour this into the wok. The egg will cook and puff up quickly so stir it about roughly to scramble and break it up. Next in is the cooled, cooked rice, stir it about like a boss. Add the peas, soy sauce, and spring onions and stir about until the peas are warmed through. Finally, return the cooked sausage to the wok and stir through, check the taste and add more seasoning if you like, I added a little more soy sauce. You could drizzle over a little sesame oil or chilli oil if you have it to hand, I didn’t and it was still delicious.
