ingredients

For the Fried Rice:

  • 12 ounces ground pork breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 small red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • olive oil, as needed
  • 2 cups curly leaf kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cups U.S.-grown long grain white rice, cooked
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 3 sliced scallions, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • salt, to taste
  • freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

ingredients

For the Yum Yum Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha, adjust for spice level

Method

For the Yum Yum Sauce:

  • Step 1

    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all yum yum sauce ingredients until well combined.

  • Step 1

    Add sausage, onion, and garlic to a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook until pork is browned, breaking up with a wooden spoon, about 7-8 minutes. If the sausage fat does not provide enough moisture, add a drizzle of olive oil.

  • Step 2

    Add kale and sesame oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the kale is wilted. Add cooked U.S.-grown long grain white rice and soy sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes. Some of the sausage and rice will begin to get crispy. Stir in peas, eggs, and half the scallions. Stir in red pepper flakes, if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Step 3

    Divide fried rice into serving bowls and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, remaining scallions, and a drizzle of yum yum sauce.
