Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare all of the ingredients before you start cooking. Slice the Chinese sausages, finely chop the onion, slice the scallions, and break up any clumps in the cooked rice so it is easier to fry evenly.

In a small bowl, stir together the salt, sugar, hot water, sesame oil, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper until dissolved. Set the seasoning sauce aside.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp vegetable oil, then pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble just until cooked through, breaking them into small pieces. Transfer the eggs to a plate or bowl.

Return the wok to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Add the sliced Chinese sausage and stir-fry for about 20 seconds, just until fragrant and lightly glossy.

Add the chopped onion and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often, until softened and translucent. Increase the heat to high, then add the rice. Use your spatula to press and separate the grains so there are no large clumps.
