Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked and cooled white rice
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup cooked and diced smoked sausage
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 small diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the pan, scramble them, and cook until just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the diced smoked sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the frozen corn and peas, cooking for 2-3 minutes until thawed and heated through.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high, then add the cooked and cooled white rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and break up any rice clumps.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce over the rice mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated and heated through.

Step 8

Gently fold in the scrambled eggs and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Hoosier Fried Rice!
