Ingredients

• 2 cups long-grain white rice

• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 4 tablespoons peanut oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

Cook the rice in the rice cooker. Allow to cool, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. When ready to use, break up the rice using your hand.

In a separate bowl, stir and combine the soy sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.

Heat a wok and add peanut oil; use high heat. Add the garlic and peas and stir for 30 seconds. Add the Chinese sausage, eggs, and cooked rice, then stir. Drizzle with the soy sauce and sesame oil mixture and stir for about two minutes.
