Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage and Broccoli Recipe
SND Note: Most people recommend using day old rice, to avoid having mushy fried rice. Despite this, we use freshly cooked rice regularly in our fried rice and haven’t had issues with it. Hungry Bear prefers a softer fried rice anyway. If you like a drier fried rice, the eggs can be prepared by completely scrambling them, set aside and added to the rice with the broccoli, sausage and mushrooms.
Ingredients
* 3-4 Chinese sausages, thinly sliced
* 1 pound Chinese broccoli
* 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 10 ounces Shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
* 5-6 eggs, whisked
* 4 cups cooked rice, cooled
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus extra to taste
* Salt to tasteDirections
1. Cut the broccoli stalks in half lengthwise if more than 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the stalks and leaves into 1/2 inch-long pieces, keeping the stalks separate from the leaves.
2. Over high heat, stir-fry the Chinese sausage until cooked through and fat is rendered, about 1 minute. Transfer to bowl and set aside. Reserve one tablespoon of sausage fat in the wok for the broccoli.
3. Stir-fry the broccoli stalks for 30 seconds. Add the leaves, lightly salt to taste and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes until the stalks are bright green and the leaves are limp. Transfer to bowl and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon oil and stir-fry the Shiitake mushrooms until soft, about 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt to taste and set aside.
4. Heat 2 tablespoon oil in wok over high heat. Add the eggs and scramble for 30 seconds. The eggs should still be runny. Add the rice and mix the eggs evenly into the rice. Stir-fry until eggs are fully cooked and the rice gets dry, about 2-3 minutes. Add the broccoli, sausage, mushrooms and soy sauce and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve.Makes 6 servings

I did not know there was such a thing as Chinese sausage!
I really like broccoli with fried rice..is it true that broccoli helps make the skin sag or it develops wrinkles?…
You should specify more precisely what kind of rice is suitable for this.
Oghh.. such an extraordinary recipe. I guess only those who are really keen to cooking will enjoy both the process of preparing and taste
The photo is very inviting, starring at it makes me hungry.
@AzureWolf,
Chinese sausage is known as “la chang” in Chinese. it’s preserved processed pork. It’s hard before cooked and has a unique fragrance.
@Myershamilton,
I think any normal rice will do (Not like when we make sushi, the use of Japanese rice is a better choice) and like what is being stated up there, using of day old rice is better. Base on my experience, it taste better with day old rice.
