Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 200g Vienna sausages
- 60g Carrots (approx. 1/4 medium carrot)
- 140g Zucchini (approx. 1/4 medium zucchini)
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 3 bowls Cooked rice (warm)
- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1.5 Tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- A drizzle of Sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp Toasted sesame seeds (sesame powder can be used if preferred)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 200g of Vienna sausages, the star ingredient. Using bite-sized pieces suitable for children will be even better.
Step 2
Slice the Vienna sausages diagonally or into rounds, about 0.5-1cm thick, so they mix well in the fried rice. For a more satisfying chew, you can slice them slightly thicker.
Step 3
Boil some water in a pan and add the sliced sausages. Blanch them for about 2 minutes. This step removes excess grease from the sausages, resulting in a cleaner taste.
Step 4
Prepare 60g of carrots and 140g of zucchini to add color, and 1 green onion stalk for aromatic flavor. Core the zucchini and finely mince the carrots and green onion. Mincing all vegetables to a similar size ensures even cooking.
Step 5
Heat a pan with a swirl of cooking oil. Add the minced green onion and stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant, creating scallion oil. The rich aroma of the scallions forms the base flavor of the fried rice.
Step 6
Once the scallion oil is fragrant, add the prepared zucchini and carrots. Stir-fry over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. It’s best to leave the vegetables slightly crisp.
Step 7
When the zucchini becomes translucent and slightly tender, add the blanched Vienna sausages and stir-fry together. Cook until the sausages are golden brown for an even tastier result.
Step 8
Now, add 3 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry until all ingredients are well combined. Ensuring the rice is broken up is key to preventing clumps.
Step 9
Add 2 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1.5 Tbsp of oyster sauce to enhance the umami flavor. Stir-fry until the seasoning is evenly distributed. If it tastes bland, add 1 tsp of salt to adjust the seasoning. Taste the rice after mixing thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Step 10
Finally, add 2 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Rubbing the sesame seeds between your palms to create sesame powder will further enhance the flavor. I added a few black sesame seeds as well for visual appeal.
Step 11
Just before turning off the heat, drizzle a swirl of sesame oil around the edges of the pan. The aroma of sesame oil wafting over the hot fried rice will stimulate your appetite.
Step 12
And there you have it – delicious sausage and vegetable fried rice! Enjoy this satisfying and ever-so-tasty meal!
