Omelette with Chinese Sausage or Lap Cheong
I’d like to share a speedy dinner suggestion featuring Chinese sausage, Lap Cheong. Amidst the hustle of household tasks, I often resort to this, one of my go-tos.
Chinese sausage, a dried and robust pork sausage with a high fat content, comes in smoked, sweetened, and seasoned variations. When lightly fried, it boasts a rich palate-pleasing taste. Some versions include Chinese rice wine, while others are flavored with “Gao Liang Wine (高粱酒),” “Nu Er Hong (女兒紅),” and even XO liquor.”.
I went for the Chinese rice wine-infused, Nu Er Hong-flavored Chinese sausage, loving its sweet and fragrant taste. Any Chinese rice wine works, or for a bolder flavor, try XO. Chinese sausage pairs perfectly with steamed white rice, Chinese fried rice, clay pot chicken rice, plain porridge, and even sandwiches. It’s my go-to for cooking eggs and omelettes!
This simple and delicious dish takes less than 10 min to get ready and serve.
Omelette with Chinese Sausage or Lap Cheong Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 medium eggs
- 2 Chinese pork sausage, thinly sliced at diagonal angle
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- Sprinkle of white sesame oil
- Pinch of salt and white pepper
- 3 tablespoon (or more) of cooking oil
Cooking Method
1) Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Add oyster sauce, salt and pepper. Beat the egg until completely mixed.
2) Heat a non-stick wok with oil over high fire. Place Chinese sausage in wok. Stir fry for 2 min, or until lightly fried. Spread the sausage slices evenly in wok. Reduce heat to low fire.
3) Add more oil, if needed. Pour eggs evenly on top of the sausages in wok, or spread them by tilting the wok or use a spatula to do so. Cook for 2 min, or until the eggs are firm on the bottom with slightly runny on top. Flip eggs over with spatula (or flipper). Cook for another 2 min, or until eggs are firm and lightly browned. Serve with hot steam white rice
Calorie for the dish
One Chinese sausage amounts to around 220kcal, and each egg contributes about 75kcal. Sharing my suggested omelette portion for two brings it to around 350kcal per serving. Treat yourself occasionally to this delightful Chinese delicacy; its irresistible fragrance will linger on your palate.
Tips for Cooking Omelette with Chinese Sausage
* Ensure the omelette is cooked when no liquid remains in the eggs.
* Avoid high heat; add extra oil for a crispier omelette. Opt for skimmed (low fat) and low-sodium Chinese sausage for a healthier choice.
* If cooking for children, choose plain Chinese sausage over the wine-flavored variety.

I love to prepare this simple yet delicious dish very often too! It goes so well even with porridge :)
Hi hn, you are right! Love this with plain porridge. Beside the “Chai Bu” (Preserved pickles) Omelette, this is the best alternative!
Vacation in Bintan ? That’s a nice place. I missed the villa I stayed at Bintan Lagoon Resort before, the private swimming pool and BBQ next to the pool. Comes across the private swimming pool, the beach is there !
Love eggs and everything with eggs. Chinese sausage is good to have in winter even just simly steam along with rice in rice cooker. Kailan and chinese sausage is a perfect match with chinese white wine too
No way you put in 1 TABLESPOON of oyster sauce to 3 eggs and it still looks yellow…. 1 table spoon is too much for 3 eggs. I tried it and it was a semi brown disaster. realised it too late as soon as I put the spoon in.
Mmm… 1 metal tablespoon of oyster sauce wouldn’t affect the end product, the omelette wouldn’t look brown on dish as shown in photo, in fact, even if the egg solution seemed brownish.
If it really bothers you, reduce the oyster sauce or replace it with salt. Just that the taste might be slightly different in the end.
