Equipment

  • 1 wok

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked cold white rice preferably day old
  • 2 tablespoon oil avocado, canola oil or any neutral oil
  • 3 chinese style sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup ground beef or any protein of your choice
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
  • 3 bunches of bokchoy chopped
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add Chinese-style sausages to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add ground beef (or protein of choice) and minced garlic. Cook until meat is browned and garlic is fragrant.
  • Stir in cooked cold white rice and break up any clumps with a spatula.
  • Add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sweet soy sauce to the skillet. Mix well to evenly coat the rice and meat.
  • Add chopped bok choy to the skillet and cook until wilted and tender.
  • Slice cooked Chinese-style sausages and add them back to the skillet. Mix everything together.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
  • Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Chinese-style sausage fried rice!

Notes

  • No Day-Old Rice? No Problem! – If you’re working with fresh rice, simply spread it out on a baking sheet and let it sit for 30 minutes. This helps dry it out a bit, giving you that perfect fried rice texture.
  • For Extra Crispy Chorizo – Want even crispier bites of chorizo? Chop it into smaller pieces before frying to maximize those golden, crunchy edges.
  • Wok on High Heat – Always use a wok and crank up the heat! High fire is key for that authentic, smoky flavor and perfectly stir-fried rice.
