Simple Fried Rice

My girls prefer to eat the egg on it's own so I fried the egg separately rather than coating the rice with it

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup rice, cooked and kept overnight in fridge 

(This is approximate amount because I did not really measure it. I usually cook more rice the day before, and keep the extra in fridge overnight)

2 chinese sausages, diced

80gm french beans, diced

4 cloves garlic, diced

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Oil for frying

Seasoning

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp water

Method

1) Mix all seasoning and set aside.

2) Heat 2 tbsp oil in pan. When hot, pour in beaten egg and stir with the spatula to "cut" up the egg. When done, dish out and set aside.

3) Only take the rice out from fridge at this point. Use a fork to break up the rice if they are sticking together.

4) Heat another 2 tbsp oil in the same pan. When hot, add in garlic and chinese sausages. Fry on medium heat till slightly brown and fragrant. Add in french beans, stir to mix everything. You don't have to cook the beans through at this stage.

5) Add rice last. Use the spatula to mix everything up. Turn heat to high and add in seasoning. Adjust the amount of seasoning to pour in depending on the amount of rice and other ingredients. Keep "digging" up the rice from bottom of wok, and break up those that are still sticking, until the colour become even. This has to be done fairly quickly to prevent it to get burnt.

6) And tada ... it's done!

* Usually the professionals will use high heat from beginning till end to have the "wok hei", and they do it very quickly to prevent burning. But I am no professional so I have used medium heat throughout and only turn up the heat at last step. The high heat helps dry up the rice a little to prevent it from becoming too wet.
