This page records one documented preparation of Bai Cha, summarised from a published recipe. (Grantourismo) The cited source gives only partial instructions, so the method below is incomplete.

Ingredients

  • 150 g Siem Reap sausages, quartered lengthways and sliced

  • 4 cups cooked rice, grains separated
  • 0.25 cup spring onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce, optional
  • 1 tsp sesame oil, optional
  • Vegetable oil, for the wok

Preparation

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir-fry the sausage until lightly coloured, then set it aside.
  3. Swirl the beaten eggs in the wok to set as a thin omelette.
  4. Lift out the omelette, cool it briefly and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Add more oil and soften the carrot and beans.
  6. Fry the garlic about one minute.
  7. Return the sausage to the wok and raise the heat.
