Prep the ingredients

Dice the garlic into tiny pieces. Cut the sausage into small pieces (about 0.3 to 0.5 cm). Chop the spring onions.

Heat the wok

Heat up your wok on high heat, then add your oil and wait for it to heat up as well. The oil should shimmer slightly.

Fry the garlic

Add the garlic and stir-fry until it starts to get golden brown. This releases the aroma.

Add rice and egg

Add your rice and stir it around. After 15-20 seconds, crack the egg directly into the wok and keep stirring to coat the rice.

Season and finish

When the rice is slightly dry, add the sausage, MSG (if using), and salt or soy sauce. Stir well to combine.

Garnish and serve

Turn off the heat and add spring onions as garnish. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Takodachi Tips: If you have fresh rice, spread it on a tray to cool down and let it dry a bit before cooking - this prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy!

Fish sauce has a strong smell but adds incredible umami depth. Countries like Vietnam and parts of China love using it in fried rice. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
