Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (homemade soy mayo)
  • 3-4 asian soy sausages
  • 1/2 batch, chickpea scrambled eggs
  • 1/4 cup green onion stems, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise well with the cooked rice.
  2. Cook up the chickpea eggs and sausages and set aside to cool.
  3. Chop the green shallots. Once cool dice the eggs and sausages into small pieces (around the same length as the rice grains)

Cooking

  1. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan over high heat then add the rice and fry for a few minutes.
  2. Add the 'eggs' and sausage pieces, mix well and cook for 4 minutes or so.
  3. Add the shallots and salt and stir for a bit.
  4. Remove from the heat and sprinkle a bit of pepper and serve!

Notes

  • Usually fried rice is cooked with left overs so cooking rice time is not included.
  • You can also replace bacon with ham, shrimp, salmon bits, and replace or add different veggies like onion, carrots, green beans, green peas etc.
  • The asian soy sausages have a vague bacon/ ham flavour, but they are small. You could use one regular sized vegan sausage of your choice if that matters to you.
  • Chickpea eggs involve; chickpea/ besan flour, water, and some kala namak/ black sulphur salt.
  • Add a swirl of soy sauce or tamari to individual serves if you think it needs more salt.
  • Approximately 183 calories per serve if you use kewpie mayo, real bacon and eggs.
