Cook time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breakfast sausage
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup tater tots
• 0.5 bell pepper
• 3 cups day-old cooked rice
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp hot sauce

Instructions

1. In a skillet, cook sausage until fully browned. For bite-sized pieces, chop the links; for a more rustic mix, remove from casing and crumble as ground sausage. Set aside.
2. In the same pan, scramble eggs to your preferred doneness. Remove and set aside.
3. Fry tater tots until golden and crunchy, or air-fry at 420°F for 12 minutes.
4. Add a little oil to the skillet. Sauté diced bell pepper with a pinch of salt until softened. Add day-old rice, breaking up clumps, and season with soy sauce. Stir-fry until hot and fragrant.
5. Toss sausage, scrambled eggs, and crispy tots into the rice. Mix gently so everything stays fluffy and evenly distributed.
6. Stir together maple syrup and hot sauce until smooth. Adjust heat to taste.
7. Plate the fried rice, drizzle with spicy maple sauce, and enjoy a sweet-savory-spicy breakfast in every bite.
