Vietnamese Fried Rice (Com Chien)

Step 1

Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add in one tablespoon of oil.

Step 2

Add shrimp, stirring one to three minutes or until cooked through. Remove from wok and set aside. Increase heat to high.

Step 3

Add onion and cook for one minute.

Step 4

Add sausage. Cook and stir for three minutes.

Step 5

Add garlic and cook for one minute.

Step 6

Add veggies and cook for two minutes (if still frozen, three to four minutes to cook off excess water)

Step 7

Add the rice and mix with the veggies. Continue mixing until rice is broken down with no lumps.

Step 8

Add shrimp back in and season with salt, sugar, chicken powder, and white pepper. Mix together well.

Step 9

Push rice to the side and add in the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the eggs. Stir them until they’re half cooked (they should still be mostly liquid with bits of cooked egg), then quickly stir in the rest of the food. Continue to stir for a minute, the egg will continue to cook as it's coating the rice mixture.

Step 10

Remove from heat and stir in the fish sauce, if using. Taste and add extra seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Enjoy!
