Cantonese Sausage Fried Rice

Cantonese Sausage Fried Rice

This delicious scallion and sausage fried rice is a quick, flavorful dish that turns simple ingredients into a satisfying meal. Thinly sliced sausage is stir-fried until fragrant and slightly curled, then combined with fluffy, loose rice for the perfect texture. The star of this recipe is the scallions—chopped into a beautiful flower shape—adding a fresh, aromatic punch. Half are stir-fried for depth of flavor, while the rest are sprinkled in at the end for a bright finish. The key is controlling the heat to keep the scallions vibrant and prevent them from turning black. Cold rice works perfectly, making it a great way to use leftovers. Easy yet packed with savory, umami-rich flavors, this fried rice is a must-try for a quick weeknight dinner or a tasty lunch. Ready in minutes, it’s a dish that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious!
