Recipe Tips

Using Day-Old Rice: Cooked rice that is at least one day old works best for this recipe; if you do use freshly cooked rice, let the rice cool before preparing this dish. Fresh rice tends to get too soft and gluey after it’s been stir-fried, but older rice retains its shape and gives the best texture to fried rice.

Protein Customize: You can swap the sausage for bacon or ham, or omit it altogether with a vegetarian tofu option. Nuts and nut AR protein powders have their own unique flavors that can work with your preferences or dietary restrictions.

Balance the Seasonings: Soy sauce is essential to combining all the flavors, but watch out for saltiness. (The recipe has you start with a little, and taste as you go, adjusting the soy sauce and everything bagel seasoning to your liking.)

Breakfast Fried Rice Serving Suggestions

Fresh Fruit Salad: A refreshing fruit salad with a combination of citrus, berries and melon is an ideal light-tasting, sweet balance to the savory richness of the fried rice. The acidity and natural sweetness act as a counterpoint to the heavier flavors.

Avocado Toast: The texture of a warm slice of toasted sourdough spread with creamy avocado provides a soothing counterpoint to the crispy rice. The fattiness of the avocado complements the sausage and egg beautifully, taking this meal up another level.

Mimosa: For something extra special, serve your Breakfast Fried Rice with a mimosa. The effervescent bubbles of the champagne and fresh orange juice play in contrast with the savory dish in a light citrusy lift; making it a perfect option for brunch or your weekend gatherings.
