Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Slowly pan-fry (or boil then fry) the star 'Xiangchang' (sweet Taiwanese raw sausage) until cooked through, then dice into 1cm cubes.
- Heat oil in a wok, add diced sausage, and sauté on low to draw out the sausage's unique 'sweet fat and spice aroma' into the whole pan.
- Turn to high heat, pour beaten egg, and while runny, add warm white rice.
- Loosen rice with a ladle, tossing until the red sausage fat coats the whole rice golden.
- Since the sausage is heavily flavored, season only with salt and a little white pepper (very little soy sauce to not mask aroma).
- Finally, add plenty of green scallions, cook briefly, and finish.
