Com Chien is a Vietnamese fried rice dish, cooked with eggs, Chinese sausage, peas and carrots, seasoned with soy sauce and aromatic spices. It's great on its own or accompanied with vegetables and/or a meat dish!

Ingredients 

  • 4 Chinese sausage, cut into small bite size pieces
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 6 green onion stalks, sliced thin, separating white and green (use green part for the garnish)
  • 8 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 6 cups cooked cold rice, preferably a day old rice, at least
  • 1 cup peas and carrots, frozen
  • 3 Tbsp Maggi, or soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp ketchup
  • 4 eggs, beaten, seasoned with salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • In a wok, on medium heat, cook Chinese sausage. You do not need to add oil since the Chinese sausage will release its own.
  • Cook until it’s slightly brown, then add butter, white part of green onions and garlic, and fry another minute until onions soften.
  • Add rice to wok and break it with a spatula until it’s no longer in clumps.
  • Add peas and carrots and mix it all together.
  • Then add soy sauce and mix it all together.
  • Finally add fish sauce, sesame oil and ketchup and mix it all together.
  • Push rice to the side and pour in the beaten eggs. Let it cook until it’s almost dry but not completely.
  • Then scramble and mix together with the rice.
  • Stir fry the rice for another 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off, garnish with green onions and serve!
