- 50 g Onions, raw
- 5 g Butter, NFS
- 50 g Egg, whole, raw

Method
- - Cook the rice ahead of time and let it cool completely. Cold rice works best for fried rice. - Dice the Nyamabite or beef sausage, bell peppers, and onions.
- - Preheat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter. If using oil, use 5g of vegetable or sesame oil. - Add the diced onions to the melted butter and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they turn soft and translucent.
- Add the diced bell peppers and Nyamabite to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still slightly crisp.
- - Push the veggies and Nyamabite to the side of the wok, making space in the center. Add the cold rice. - Crack the egg directly onto the rice and scramble it quickly, stirring to coat the rice evenly with the egg. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
- - Toss all the ingredients together, making sure everything is evenly mixed. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. - Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Transfer the fried rice to a plate or bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
