Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat.
Step #2 Add 2 tbsps of the oil & swirl to coat the pan.
Step #3 When the oil shimmers, add the eggs, which will puff up.
Step #4 Allow to set about 5 seconds, & using a wok spatula or similar tool, push the sides of the egg mass toward the center to allow uncooked egg to reach the pan & solidify.
Step #5 Flip the mass, about 5 seconds, allow it to set, & slide it onto a dish; do not over cook.
Step #6 With the edge of the spatula, break the eggs into small pieces.
Step #7 Set aside.
Step #8 Add the remaining 2 tbsps of the oil to the wok & swirl to coat the pan.
Step #9 When the oil shimmers, add the garlic & ginger & stir-fry until soft, about 2 mins.
Step #10 Add the Chinese sausage (la chang - see note below), the white parts of the scallions, & the rice & toss thoroughly until heated through.
Step #11 Add the soy sauce, pepper, & reserved eggs & toss.
Step #12 Correct the seasoning, transfer to a platter, adding the salt if necessary, & garnish with the scallion greens.
Step #13 Serve as soon as possible.
Step #14 Ming's Tip: The eggs will be done very quickly.
Step #15 Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't brown or dry out.
Step #16 NOTE: la chang is Chinese sausage.
