Ingredients

• 2 cups white rice
• 4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 4 pieces sausage links (preferably spicy)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup green peas
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the 2 cups of white rice with 4 cups of water according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool or refrigerate overnight for the best results.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the 2 large eggs into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Slice the sausage links and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and green peas to the sausage in the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.

Step 5

Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Use the back of a wooden spoon to break up any clumps. Pour the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the rice and mix well.

Step 6

Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, and stir in the sliced green onions. Season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.

Step 7

Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors combine and the rice heat through.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
