Chinese sausage and egg rice bowl

I can imagine my late grandfather and father making this dish. In my family, they were the only ones who really knew how to combine simple ingredients to make a fantastic meal.

But cook the eggs in rendered fat? Oh, yes! You really don’t want to waste the highly flavorful fat that comes out of the sausages. If you’re wondering what makes the fat so delicious, it’s useful to know a little bit about Chinese sausages.

What you should know about Chinese sausages

What is Chinese sausage? What does it taste like? How are they bought, stored and cooked? Read on for the answers and tips.

Read moreWhat you should know about Chinese sausages

So, I’m presuming you read about Chinese sausages so you won’t wonder anymore why the cooking time for this dish is so short. Two minutes to prep and seven minutes to cook! And you need just one frying pan to make it.

Frying sliced Chinese sausages / beating eggs

So, slice the Chinese sausages and spread in an oil-free pan. Leave them a bit to allow them to render fat. When you start to see oil glistening around the sausage slices, flip them over. You’ll have to do this over low heat so as not to burn the sausages. So, while waiting for the sausages to get heated through, prep your eggs by beating them with salt, pepper and, optionally, chili flakes.

Pouring beaten eggs over sliced Chinese sausages in pan

When there is enough rendered fat in the pan, pour the beaten eggs over the sausages, stir everything around until the eggs are set but still a bit wet (or you may cook them until quite dry) and you’re done.
