For My Little Pig: Com Chien (Fried Rice)

One of the reasons why I wanted to start this blog was for my mom to be view the recipes that I enjoy and try them herself.  However, she has been sending me recipes (mostly Vietnamese) to try while I am 2000+ miles away and crave mom's home cooked meals.

In case you are wondering why her recipes will be in a series called "For My Little Pig", it is because ever since I was young, that is what she calls me, little pig (translated in Vietnamese).  I was born in the year of the pig, and also fitting because I like to eat.

Here's her famous Com Chien (Vietnamese Fried Rice) Recipe!

Com Chien (Vietnamese Fried Rice)
Ingredients
6 eggs and 2 tbsp water
1 lb Chinese Barbecue pork, chicken or gio (processed pork that you can buy from the vietnamese store), julienned
4 to 5 Chinese sausage, thinly cut (round)
5 scallion, julienned - separate white and green parts
2 tbsp garlic minced
3 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 tbsp vegetable oil
7 to 10 cups of cooked rice
2 tbsp of butter

Sauce 
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp black pepper
Mix sauce and put aside
Stir together the eggs and 2 tbs water.  In a nonstick pan, make an omelette and julienne.  Put aside for later use.
Heat wok and put in 3 tbsp vegetable oil.  Put in the garlic, the white parts of the scallions, and then the chinese sausage (medium heat so we don't burn them but get some more oil from the sausage).  Next, add the rice, the 1lb of meat, and lastly, the eggs.  If the rice is too dry, pour the 2 remaining tbsp vegetable oil.

After all are mixed thoroughly, put in the sauce, one tablespoon at a time, and mix.  Taste to your liking with each tablespoon before pouring it all in the fried rice.

When it tastes to your liking, put in the green part of the scallions and the 2 tbsp of butter.  Mix well and it is ready to eat.
