Steps:

• Scramble eggs in a hot non-stick pan with 1 tbsp of oil. Once it has formed shape but not completely cooked through, remove and set aside. This takes about 10 seconds.
• In the same pan, add remaining oil and saute onions and garlic on high heat.
• Once onions and garlic has turned slightly golden, add chinese sausages and white parts of the sliced spring onions/scallions. Saute on medium heat for 1 - 2 minutes.
• By now you the smell from the pan (or wok if using) should be heavenly. Push ingredients in the pan to the edges of pan/wok to make room for rice.
• Pour leftover rice in the middle of pan/wok and turn the heat back up to high and stir fry for 1 minute. Push clumps of rice down with the flat side of spatula to break rice apart.
• Add in soy sauce, salt and pepper. Stir fry for 2 more minutes. Make sure each and every grain of rice has touched the hot pan/wok.

STICKY RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cook the sticky rice according to the directions on the package and set aside to cool (we usually just make it in our rice cooker). You can also use our method for soaking and steaming the sticky rice to pre-cook it.
• Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauces, sesame oil, chicken stock, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 30 seconds to bring out the flavor. Next, add the onion, mushrooms and Chinese sausage, and stir-fry for another minute, taking care not to burn the onion. Add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
• Add all of the cooked sticky rice to the wok and break it up as much as possible with a spatula. Spoon half of the sauce mixture over the rice (it helps to add the sauce over any clumps of rice to help break them up). Mix well, using a scooping motion to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the wok. Add the rest of the sauce and stir-fry until the rice is uniform in color.
• Season with white pepper to taste and mix in the scallions. You can serve it as is...or if you want to get fancy, you can pack the rice into a nice round bowl rinsed in warm water and turn it over on a plate. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

RICE-PARTIALLY COOKED, WITH CHINESE SAUSAGES II

Steps:

• TOPPING:Dice sausages, mushrooms and shrimp. RICE:1. Wash rice thoroughly (see HOW-TO, _Rice: To wash), then spread evenly along the bottom of a saucepan. 2. Add the desired quantity of cold water for each cup of rice. (Let rice and water sit covered in pan for 30 minutes before cooking. This softens the rice, but can be omitted.) 3. Bring rice to a boil over 3/4 flame. Boil covered 3 minutes. Reduce flame to 1/2. Boil 2 minutes more, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. (At this point, before the water is completely absorbed, some cooks stir the rice gently from the bottom up so that it will cook more evenly and have less tendency to burn on the bottom. If some rice sticks to the sides of the pot during this stirring, just scrape it down.) 4. Arrange topping over rice and cook, covered, over low heat until rice is done (15 to 20 minutes). Let stand, covered, 10 to 15 minutes more. Mix well before serving. NOTE: The topping is cooked as the rice itself steams. Both rice and topping may be stirred together after, but not during, cooking. The rice will stick to the bottom of the pan if stirred too soon.
