Sausage fried rice is a savoury egg-fried rice dish that's quick and easy to make and can be on the table in less than half an hour. We’ve used pouches of express cooked rice which just need heating through for a few minutes. Although they are a little pricier than cooking rice from scratch, it’s worth keeping a few pouches in the store cupboard just for convenience. You can add some canned sweetcorn or frozen mixed vegetables to make the dish go further. Serve with extra soy sauce or a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce and some crispy prawn Chinese (opens in new tab) crackers, if liked.
