Main Ingredients- 1/4 canned sausage (like luncheon meat or Vienna sausage, adjust to preference)
- 1/4 pickled radish (danmuji, adjust to preference)
- 2 bowls of cooked rice (cold rice or instant rice work well)
- Pinch of black pepper (for added flavor)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust seasoning to your taste)
- 1/2 tsp sugar (to balance the tanginess of the pickled radish)
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for a nutty finish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Alright, let’s begin this simple yet special golden recipe for delicious fried rice using old-fashioned sausage and pickled radish! Get ready to create a taste that will bring back fond childhood memories.
Step 2
First, julienne the canned sausage and pickled radish into thin strips, perfect for stir-frying. Heat about 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, creating ‘scallion oil’. This oil is a secret weapon that will elevate the flavor of your fried rice!
Step 3
Once your fragrant scallion oil is ready, add the julienned pickled radish to the pan and stir-fry it together. The sweet and tangy aroma of the pickled radish will blend beautifully with the scallion oil, making your mouth water. Stir-frying slightly will help evaporate excess moisture and improve the texture.
Step 4
Now, add the julienned canned sausage to the pan and stir-fry until it’s lightly browned. Next, it’s time to season the fried rice! Add a pinch of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to balance the tartness of the pickled radish. Mix everything well. Finally, sprinkle in a pinch of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma.
Step 5
With the delicious sausage and pickled radish stir-fry complete, add 2 bowls of warm cooked rice. Gently stir-fry, mixing all the ingredients until well combined. It’s important to stir-fry gently so that each grain of rice is coated with the seasoning. Avoid pressing down on the rice with your spatula; instead, gently toss and separate the grains as you stir-fry.
Step 6
Voila! Your nostalgic fried rice with the perfect harmony of old-fashioned sausage and refreshing pickled radish is now ready! This simple yet incredibly delicious fried rice is the perfect way to enjoy a satisfying meal.
