Like I always say, if you run out of things to cook, there’s always fried rice. You need only a few ingredients, yet it’s the tastiest thing in the world and so-oo easy to make you just can’t go wrong - even if you tried.
Just dig around in your kitchen and see if you can find 2 or 3 lup cheong (Chinese sausages) sitting around.
If not, luncheon meat or frankfurters will do just as well. You just need some sort of preserved meat or leftover cooked meat.
Fresh meat is bland and really doesn’t do a whole lot in terms of taste. So forget those.

Basically you just need these few basic ingredients, nothing fancy.
- 3 Chinese sausages, cut crosswise
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, diced
- 2 fresh green chillies, diced
- 3 eggs
- cooked rice, leftover rice would do great
Dunk everything (except the rice) into a bit of oil in a wok and stir-fry till fragrant. Scramble the eggs in there as well.
Add the rice and some dark soy sauce to give the rice some color. If you don’t have dark sauce, no problem.
Drizzle some sesame oil all over. Salt and pepper to taste, and you’re done. See?

This is simply delicious yet so deliciously simple. Enjoy!

I make fried rice pretty frequently, too, with whatever meat I have on hand. I really need to get a wok & quit making it in the frying pan - a wok works so much better.

Hey skeet, thanks for stopping by. Yep, a wok does make things much easier.

that’s really similar to how my mom makes fried rice, and you can’t go wrong with mom’s recipe!
