In this recipe, the eggs are cooked through before the rice is added. Instead of the usual soy sauce, the seasonings consist of oyster sauce, hoisin sauce and salt.It is a bad idea to use newly cooked rice to make fried rice. Day-old rice which has dried out (in the fridge or on the kitchen counter) is best.This is a stir fried dish so remember to use oil with a high smoking point and to keep the heat high throughout the cooking.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok and cook the onion and garlic for about half a minute.
Add the carrot and stir fry for another half a minute.
Next, add the chopped sausage and toss around for a minute.
Add the peas and toss.
Add the shrimps and mushrooms, sprinkle in half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of pepper, and stir fry for a minute or until the shrimps are cooked through.
Scoop out the contents of the wok, transfer to a bowl and keep hot.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the wok.
Pour in the beaten eggs, sprinkle with generous pinches of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and tossing to break into small pieces, until no longer wet.
Add the rice to the eggs.
Drizzle in the oyster sauce and hoisin sauce.
Stir fry the rice and eggs until the seasonings are evenly distributed and the rice is heated through.
Add the sausage-shrimp-vegetable mixture to the rice and eggs.
Stir fry for another minute until everything is hot.
Off the heat, drizzle in the sesame seed oil and toss the fried rice thoroughly.
Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if needed, and toss to blend before serving.
