This is really a no-brainer recipe. I am pretty sure every Chinese home will have this on the dinner menu once in a while. It is a flavourful, comforting, quick and easy dish that embodies the simplicity of typical Chinese home cook food.
During his recent business trip to Hong Kong, i asked hubby to buy one packet of the famous Wing Fung brand of chinese sausages. He came back with FOUR.
Under normal circumstances, i probably wouldn't bat an eyelid; men right, you don't really expect them to follow instructions to a T.
However, in this case, these preserved porcine guys cost 10 bucks EACH. Not 10bucks per packet, but 10bucks per stick! The total bill for sixteen sausages (four in a pack) came to a whopping 160 bucks. I nearly had a heart attack when hubby showed me the receipt.
The saving grace is these guys are really yummy (they'd better be). I put two sticks into the rice cooker in the middle of the cooking, and the smell that wafted through was really fragrant, especially the chinese wine. It's obvious they use quality ingredients.
For this recipe, i sliced the sausages really thin, and fry with equally thin slices of onion. Crack four eggs on top, scramble up everything and it's ready. The fragrant chinese wine made a big difference to this simple dish.
Scramble Eggs with Chinese Sausages and Onion
- 1 stick of chinese sausages, sliced thinly (i even dug out the chunks of fat :p)
- 1 medium size yellow onion, sliced thinly
- Four eggs, beaten
- Dash of soy sauce and pepper
1. Heat 1 tspn of oil in a frying pan, and pour the sausages and onion to fry. You don't need much oil as the oil from the sausages will flow out when it is being cooked.
2. Fry for a minute until the onion turns soft and the sausages start to sizzle. Add the beaten eggs and stir until cooked. Turn off the fire and serve immediately.
Hi Esther, this is my favorite egg dish to eat with porridge. Yours look so good, make me hungry now. LOL
ReplyDeleteNice click. Have a lovely day ahead.
Yea, it's perfect with porridge isnt it! Comfort food.
DeleteThis is one of my emergency dishes, to add when there is nothing fresh to cook :p
ReplyDeleteMine too, if no eggs, just steam the sausages on the rice. Flavour the rice summore!
DeleteOh I loves scrambled eggs .... and I thought you are making this for breakfast but no... you are using chinese sausage and have to go with rice.... and it is of course delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, scrambled eggs are good for good for just about anytime isnt it :) just omit the sausages and its oerfect for an indulgent breakfast.
DeleteHi Esther, this dish comes right on time. Will be sharing it with my neighbour who is looking for simple dishes to cook. Why? Cos' her daughter gave birth to a pair of twins. She doesn't have an extra hand to cook, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this takes less than 5 min haha!
DeleteEsther, this is a nice simple dish. I am not a fan of Chinese sausages (other people in my family love them especially Mum) so I guess I can substitute it with other types of sausage. Yeah, instead of omelette, just scramble them up!
ReplyDeleteYea, can substitute with other ingredients like preserved radish (choy po), western sausages, ham, luncheon meat ooo.
DeleteThis looks so simple and delicious! My kids would love it, they like chinese sausages a lot!
ReplyDeleteAh, they know whats good food :p
Deleteoh..this is my all time favourite. simple and quick
ReplyDeleteH Stephanie, yea, simple and quick and yummy!
DeleteHmm, yum yum, simple and delicious, perfect to go with a bowl of porridge.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, the simple things are the best, arent they!
DeleteDon't we all love Chinese sausages? It adds amazing flavor for rice, eggs, anything! I love that you added onion because when it's cooked it gives sweet flavor and I always love it. :)
ReplyDeleteYea, thats the beauty of onions, it not only flavors the dish, it adds a touch of sweetness thats so well rounded.
Deletesimple and nice! but i guess i have to replace chinese sausages with normal sausages for my kids :)
