Nancy Silverman - The Fried Rice Cookbook: Easy and Delicious Fried Rice Recipes from Around the World!

Fried rice does not have to be loaded with meat, as you learned along the way. If there is one thing to remember from his book, remember this: you can make your fried rice with almost any ingredients or food items you love, its all about frying it with the right combination of spices/ingredients that will taste good together.

Lets start this recipe book with our first awesome recipe: sausage and veggie fried rice. You might wonder what type of sausages are the best to use. My answer would actually be the kind you prefer. We will show you a recipe with hot dogs later, so maybe for this one you could choose bratwurst or Italian sausage? Lets see what we picked!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Instructions:

• For each recipe, I will start by saying that you can really choose the rice you prefer: brown rice, white rice, Basmati rice, Jasmine rice, Arborio rice, black rice or any other rice you may like to try.
• Next, heat the olive oil in a large skillet, or a wok if you own one.
• Start by cooking the Italian sausage for 15 minutes or so, stirring so it stays crumbly.
• When the sausage is done, remove some of the fat and add the onions, garlic, and diced squash, and all seasonings.
• Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Then add the cooked rice and make a hole in the middle of the pan to crack the egg and fry it until done.
• Finally, mix all the ingredients together again and taste before serving, adjust the seasonings if needed.
