Method

Heat a wok over a high heat. Pour in half the oil and heat until the surface shimmers slightly. Pour eggs into wok and cook, without stirring, but tilting wok to form a large disc of egg, for 1 minute or until egg is firm.

Transfer egg disc to a chopping board and allow to cool flat.

Pour remaining oil into wok then stir-fry onion and ginger for 1 minute. Add sausage and stir-fry for 1 minute or until lightly browned. Stir in garlic, sugar and wine then stir-fry for another minute or until most liquid has been absorbed.

Stir in cold rice.

Add shallots, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until rice is heated through. Remove from heat.

Roll up egg to form a long log.

Slice into 5mm-thick strips and add to wok. Toss well.

Serve fried rice garnished with chilli and extra shallots.
