Honestly im not a huge fan of fried rice, but I could eat THIS one anytime. Garlicky, a little sweet, with a hint of spice from the Taiwanese sausage. This is a flavor you've never tasted I'm sure because I've only tasted it in my mom's kitchen. 😭 I had all the feels when I tasted it for the first time while doing R&D.

Instructions
Cook thawed Taiwanese Sausages with 1/2C of boiling water with a lid on high heat, about 6 minutes. Strain, reserve the sausage water about 1/4C, and dice the sausages into 1/4" cubes.
Crack and beat the duck eggs in a bowl, with a small pinch of salt.
In a wok or a non-stick pan, heat up 2 tables of lard on medium heat, add the diced Taiwanese Sausage, stir-fry until golden on the edges. Remove the sausages from the wok.
With the same wok, turn the heat up high, add the beaten eggs and the cold rice on top. Flatten with the spatula, breaking up any rice lumps. You may need to add another tablespoon of lard around the edges.
Add soy sauce from the edges, one tablespoon at the time, mix and stir fry the rice well.
Add a pinch of salt, white pepper, sausage, onion, and cabbage to the wok and stir fry on medium heat. Breaking up any more lumps, stir frying to make sure steam is able to escape.
Once the rice mixture feels dryer after the steam from the vegetables have escaped, add the reserved sausage liquid, 2 tablespoon at a time, making sure the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy after each time.
Add the minced garlic, give it a quick stir-fry until it doesn't smell completely raw, about 10 seconds.
Taste test, add more salt to taste.
Add the green onion, turn off the heat and stir. Your fried rice is ready to be served.
