Click here 'Nduja Scrambled Eggs Recently, we've been talking up spicy, salty, porky 'nduja and how well-suited it is to enhancing quick and easy weeknight dinner recipes, like a white bean stew or a pot of steamed mussels. Here, we turn the tables and add our favorite Calabrian sausage to a no-rush weekend cooking recipe: soft-scrambled eggs. 'Nduja's high fat content, which gives it its soft, spreadable texture, also allows it to easily emulsify and meld into the creamy curds of scrambled eggs. As the eggs cook slowly and gently over low heat, they take on a vibrant orange-red hue and floral heat from the Calabrian chilies that flavor the sausage. The savory richness from the pork fat is balanced by the sausage's fermented tang, for a bright, funky finish. The next time your loved ones request bacon and eggs for breakfast, make 'nduja scrambled eggs instead. The kitchen essential A nonstick pan ensures that your curds will slide easily onto your plate without any bits left behind. More eggcellent egg recipes |

Fried rice with Chinese sausage
No images? Click here Fried Rice With Chinese Sausage, Cabbage, and Torch Hei This fried rice stars sweet and salty Chinese sausage and tender leaves of Napa cabbage, set off with juicy green peas and sliced scallions. A sauce of Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and sesame oil adds flavor without drowning out the "torch hei." Because too much time under the torch can easily burn individual grains of rice, we instead elect to cook the rice and the cabbage separately, giving the cabbage a brief 30-second treatment with the blowtorch before folding it back in with the cooked rice and sausage. A final pass with the live flame just before taking it off the heat ensures that signature smoky aroma permeates the dish. The kitchen essential This recipe calls upon the power of a kitchen blowtorch to pull off an ingenious wok hei hack that adds that special "breath of the wok" dimension to the dish—even if you don't have a gas-powered stove or grill.
