Golden Fried Rice (黄金炒饭)

---

Golden egg fried rice is the best fried rice hack because it makes delicious rice using the yolks. The yolks make this rice more rich and fragrant. I love using the classic Chinese sausage for this recipe as well.

My parents would make this type of rice for me as a kid and I loved the sweetness of the Chinese sausage and the crispy of the chinese broccoli. If you haven’t made fried rice using this technique, I highly recommend it!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR GOLDEN FRIED RICE:

• cooked white rice (day old rice works best)
• egg yolk
• egg whites
• chinese broccoli stems only
• corn oil or vegetable oil
• soy sauce
• sugar
• chicken bouillon
• chinese sausage
• green onion

STEPS TO MAKE THE GOLDEN FRIED RICE:

1. Separate egg yolks and egg whites. Add egg yolks to rice and mix well until all the rice is coated in the yolk (all yellow rice).
2. Prep the chinese sausage by giving it a quick rinse and drying with a paper towel. Slice the chinese sausage. Wash the chinese broccoli stems and slice the stems only. You can boil the leaves or saute it for a later meal 😉
3. Heat wok or pan on medium high heat. Once its hot, add 1.5 tablespoon corn oil to a wok or pan. Add the sliced chinese sausage in the pan and saute for 1-2 minutes. Take the sausage out and set aside.
4. Next, scramble the egg whites for 30 seconds max and take it out and set aside.
5. Then, add the white rice that was mixed with the egg yolks and fry until there are no clumps (2-3 minutes). Keep mixing to ensure the rice doesn’t stick to the pan.
6. Add the chinese broccoli stems and cooked chinese sausage. Mix together for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon and mix well.
7. Next, add the scrambled egg whites and 30 seconds and you’re done! The rice should take no longer than 8 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions. Hope you enjoy!
