Notes

Aromatics-

In this recipe i used Chinese Sausage, which you can find at any big supermarket or asian grocer. Typically Fried Rice is made with diced bacon but i wanted to change it up a little bit this time. I want to also mention that you can use what ever protein you like. I have done this recipe before with left over shredded roast chicken and it was yum! Like many of my recipes I encourage you to work with what you have, so you can discover new flavour combos and keep cooking low stress 🙂

Vegetables-

I have used fresh veggies in this recipe but Frozen Vegetables are fantastic in Fried Rice too. If you cant be bothered chopping and prepping veggies, Those assorted packs with Carrots, Peas and Corn are so convenient and easy. If you’re using Frozen Veggies, don’t bother thawing them. Add those babies straight in as is! Just keep the pan hot to ensure things don’t get to soggy.

Eggs-

If you’re a little confused with this part, I have included a picture below. It super simple, just like making an Omelette. Crack, whisk and cook until the top has slightly set and then mix it all together.
