Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful fried rice dish loaded with savory sausage, colorful vegetables, and aromatic seasonings — perfect for a weeknight meal or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and cooled white rice
  • 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, or bell peppers)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining vegetable oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add mixed vegetables and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender.
  5. Push vegetables to the side of the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs, scrambling until cooked through.
  6. Add cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up clumps, and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Return the sausage to the skillet, then add soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil; stir well to combine.
  8. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, tossing to heat through.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Day-old rice works best for fried rice as it prevents mushiness.
  • You can substitute smoked sausage with chicken sausage or even leftover ham.
  • Adjust soy sauce and seasoning to taste.
