Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (use a rice cooker for ease)
- 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, sliced
- 1/2 cup diced onion (use a sharp knife)
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Preparation Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by organizing all your ingredients. Dice the onion, chop the bell peppers, and mince the garlic. Having them ready will streamline the cooking process. Use a reliable cutting board for safe and efficient preparation.
Step 2: Cook the Chorizo
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook until they are browned and slightly crispy, releasing their aromatic and flavorful oils into the pan. This step ensures that the chorizo imparts its bold flavor to the entire dish.
Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
Push the chorizo to one side of the skillet and add the diced onion, chopped bell peppers, and minced garlic to the pan. Saut the vegetables until they are tender and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. This adds a delightful sweetness and depth to the dish.
Step 4: Make a Space for the Eggs
Move the chorizo and vegetable mixture to the sides of the skillet, creating a well in the center. Pour the beaten eggs into the well and scramble them until they are just set. This ensures that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the fried rice.
Step 5: Add the Rice
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Mix everything together thoroughly to combine the flavors. Pour the soy sauce over the rice mixture and continue to stir, ensuring that every grain of rice is coated with the savory sauce.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Season the fried rice with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh, bright touch. Serve the chorizo fried rice hot, and enjoy the bold, mouthwatering flavors that this dish has to offer.
