Fried Brown Rice with Sausage

Cook two cups of brown rice over the stove or in the rice cooker. Store in refrigerator overnight. The best fried rice is made with day-old rice.

Let sausage thaw and add hoisin, honey, soy sauce, five-spice powder, and salt. Toss to coat. Set aside.

Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add rice to the skillet until all rice is coated with vegetable oil. Then, move rice to one side of the pan. On the opposite, clear side, add 1 teaspoon and lightly beaten eggs. Sprinkle salt on eggs and stir gently with rubber spatula. Allow eggs to cook for about 1 minute.

Cook sausage over another skillet while rice and eggs rest. Cook until the sausage is cooked through and caramelized on its sides. Once pork is cooked, add it to the egg and rice mixture and let it rest.

In the now cleared pan, heat sesame oil over the skillet until it shimmers. Add scallion whites, garlic, and ginger and cook until fragrant. Transfer to rice mixture.

Add soy sauce to the rice mixture and cook over medium-high heat until fully incorporated.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add in peas. Cook for 2-4 minutes.

Off heat, stir in scallion greens.

Serve!
