How to Make Macanese Fried Rice

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon lime juice until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté for 3 minutes, or until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
  4. Pour in 2 large beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Immediately add 3 cups cooked rice and stir until well combined.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/2 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup chopped chorizo sausage, 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, and the sugar-fish sauce-lime mixture. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until heated through and flavors meld.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest for 4 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
