Chinese Fried Rice

I believe that Chinese fried rice can be made in several different ways. Different types of veggies and meat can be used - which is totally up to your taste. Well!! egg is the most common ingredient in any version. So, here comes my 1st version of chinese fried rice.  Will try out different versions soon.

Ingredients:

Eggs - 3
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste
Oil - 2 to 3 tbsp
Cooked rice : 2 cups [left over rice is preferred]
Sausage - 1 [of your choice, I used spiced pork sausage]
Carrots - 1
Green peas - 1/2 cup
Red bell pepper - 1/4
Butter - 1 tbsp
Black soy sauce - 2 to 3 tsp
Vinegar - 2 tsp
Chilli garlic sauce - 1 tsp
Hot chilli sauce - 2 tsp

Procedure:
  1. Add butter in to a hot wok and let it melt. Add chopped Carrots, green peas and red bell pepper and saute till they become soft. Remove them on to a plate
  2. Heat oil in the same wok and add [slightly beaten] eggs mixture. Saute the eggs till they are cooked. Add sliced sausage and let it cook for few seconds.
  3. Add the veggies [from step 1] and cook for few mins. Add salt and pepper and cook for few more mins.
  4. Add rice to the above and mix well. Reduce the flame to low at this point. 
  5. Add soy sauce, chilli garlic sauce, hot chilli sauce, vinegar and mix well. 
  6. Adjust the salt and pepper at this point and mix well. 
Enjoy while it is hot!!!

Note: All the sauces used in the recipe can be adjusted to taste. Watch out on the amount of salt - as soy sauce and other sauces also have salt in them.
