Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Chinese lap cheong sausage cut into small pieces
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetable thawed
  • 4 cups overnight steamed rice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 3 dashes ground white pepper or black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat up a wok or skillet on high heat. Add the cooking oil and sauté the garlic until aromatic. Add the Chinese lap cheong sausage, stir and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Add the beaten eggs, let cook, and break the eggs into pieces using a spatula. Add the mixed vegetables and stir well. Add in the rice, stir to combine well with all the ingredients.

Notes

Overnight steamed rice is ideal for making Chinese fried rice due to the lower moisture content in the rice. Freshly made rice is too "starchy" and "wet" as the rice would be mushy and stick together. Overnight rice that has been refrigerated is dry and perfect for Chinese fried rice recipe.
