Lap Cheong Fried Rice

Step 1

Place the lap cheong (Chinese sausage) in a large heat-proof bowl. Pour hot boiling water over the sausages until they are fully submerged. Set aside to soak for 5-10 minutes (see note 1).

Step 2

Pull out the Chinese sausages and allow them to slighty cool before slicing into 1/4 inch thick pieces on a diagonal.

Step 3

To prepare the sauce, combine soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and white pepper powder. Mix together and set aside.

Step 4

In a wok or deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for 1 minute, then add garlic and sliced sausages. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Toss in the rice and break it up using a spatula. Pour in the sauce and stir fry to mix well.

Step 6

Push the fried rice to one side and crack the egg. Once the egg has cooked, break it apart into small pieces with a spatula and mix it into the rice. Add scallions and sesame oil and give it one last mix.

Step 7

Serve and enjoy!

Step 8

Soaking the sausage links in hot water will melt away excess oil and soften it up so it's easier to slice.
