Sausage Cajun Fried Rice

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sausage Cajun Fried Rice

Every once in awhile I would get these bouts of cravings for Cajun food, and I find the easiest way to satisfy it is by whipping up this super simple sausage cajun fried rice. There is buttery garlic goodness, a touch of lemon zest with a cajun kick in every bite! Which makes this the perfect continuation to my Rice is Life series.

Cajun cooking can be traced back to the state of Louisiana, with signature dishes such as gumbo and jambalaya. Cajun cuisine has the perfect blend of spices, with a deep flavor that is simply mouth watering. Even thinking about it while writing this post has me salivating.

I hope you’ll have a go at this recipe!

NOTES

I personally believe that it’s also best to use cold rice for any fried rice recipe. Freshly cooked rice will get mushy when you fry it and although still delicious, it’s not the best consistency for fried rice. If you only have freshly cooked rice, just pop it into the freezer for 30-60 minutes before you start cooking.

This Malaysian style soy sauce eggs is one of my favorite easy meals and it’s also a comfort food not just for me but for many Malaysians. I ate this a lot growing up and during my student days. Probably one of the first recipes I learned how to cook!
The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
