BASIC FRIED RICE

this was one of the first recipes that got me through college, passed down from my parents. i grew up with this fried rice. it was affordable and accessible, considering all of the ingredients were always readily available in my family fridge. i learned simply by watching my dad cook it over and over, and when i first fed it to my partner upon moving in together, her mind was blown.

here's what you need to do.

ingredients (makes 4 servings):

  • 4 cups of cooked jasmine rice
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 chinese sausages, sliced (i recommend kam yen jan brand)
  • golden mountain seasoning sauce
  • salt + pepper
  • neutral cooking oil

steps:

  1. add a thin layer of oil to nonstick pan on medium heat. add sausages and green onion once oil is heated. saute.
  2. once you smell the aromatics of the green onion, add garlic. saute until you smell the garlic.
  3. add rice, then pour eggs over everything. stir-fry until everything's combined.
  4. add seasoning sauce. how much? whatever your heart tells you. to be on the safe side, aim for at least three big circles of sauce. add a liberal amount of salt and pepper too. stir until everything's combined.
  5. taste. season more to adjust if need be.
  6. turn off heat and enjoy however you like.
