Vietnamese Inspired Fried Rice This is a recipe I learned from my mom and I included some tips and tricks she does with her eggs and sausage. There are different ways to make Vietnamese fried rice. You can add carrots, other vegetables and meats, too.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Yield: 4 people

Ingredients:

4 Chinese sausage
1 cup green peas
1 yellow onion
5-6 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp tapioca starch
5 eggs
2 soy sauce
2 Hoisin sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups cooked Jasmine rice
2 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

In a small pot, add water to a little over sausage. Boil on medium heat for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, crack eggs in a bowl with a dash of black pepper and salt. Mix eggs.

Using 1 Tbsp. tapioca starch and 2 Tbsp. water, mix well. Then stir into eggs. This step is to help keep the eggs from breaking apart later when thinly slicing.

In a pan, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil on medium heat. Pour egg mixture and allow to cook on each side for 2 minutes (have to flip).

Once egg is fully cooked, allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before thinly cutting.

Now, your sausage should be ready. Drain the pot and optional: peel the skin. We like to peel the skin because the sausage is much softer. Then, thinly slice.

Boil green peas for a few minutes and drain.

Chop onions and garlic.

Now in a medium sized pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil and add onions and garlic. Stir fry to caramelize. Then, add the green peas and chinese sausage along with mixture of soy sauce and hoisin sauce.
