Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked white rice
• 2 links smoked sausages
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 3 stalks green onions
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your ingredients. Slice the smoked sausages into thin rounds, mince the garlic, dice the onion, carrot, and bell pepper, and chop the green onions. Beat the eggs in a small bowl.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are browned. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, then pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Allow them to cook for a minute, then scramble the eggs until fully cooked.

Step 7

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps as you stir. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice mixture and toss everything together for about 3 minutes, ensuring the rice is well-coated and heated through.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

Step 10

Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the fried rice and give it a final toss before serving hot.
