Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 3 Shallots chopped
  • 1 Garlic clove chopped
  • 1 Orange Pepper chopped
  • 300 g Cooked Rice

  • 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce

Instructions

  • In a large wok or pan, heat the sesame oil, then stir-fry the shallots, garlic and peppers for a couple of minutes.
    1 tablespoon Sesame oil, 3 Shallots, 1 Garlic clove, 1 Orange Pepper
  • Add the cooked rice and stir fry for 2 minutes. Keep stirring so the rice doesn't stick to the pan.
    300 g Cooked Rice
  • Add the beaten egg and fry for 2 minutes until the egg is cooked. Then add the soy sauce.
    2 Eggs, 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • Put the frozen peas into the rice and stir until combined (they will cook very quickly).
    100 g Peas
  • Add the chopped smoked sausage and cooked chicken, and heat through until everything is piping hot.
    100 g Cooked Smoked Sausage, 200 g Cooked Chicken
  • Serve with stir fried veggies and spring rolls for an authentic chinese takeout meal.

Notes

Variations:
  • Substitute 1 small onion for the 3 shallots.
  • Instead of smoked sausage, you could add cooked prawns or sliced chorizo.
  • Sweetcorn could be used instead of peas, or why not use both?
  • If you like your food spicy, add 1 chopped red chilli, during step 1.
