Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked and cooled white rice
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup cooked and diced smoked sausage
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 small diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Crack the eggs into the pan, scramble them, and cook until just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the diced smoked sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the frozen corn and peas, cooking for 2-3 minutes until thawed and heated through.
Increase the heat to high, then add the cooked and cooled white rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and break up any rice clumps.
Drizzle the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce over the rice mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Gently fold in the scrambled eggs and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Hoosier Fried Rice!
