In this recipe, there is a generous amount of winged beans with every spoonful of rice. The winged beans give a satisfying crunchy texture to the fried rice.
If you don’t have XO sauce, substitute it with seasonings such as oyster sauce, soy sauce or fish sauce (to taste).

Cooking Tip
I used a light sprinkle of salt & pepper blend to improve the taste of my fried rice. In place of the S&P blend, you can substitute with a pinch of salt + 2 dashes white pepper, chicken seasoning powder, oyster sauce, soy sauce, mushroom seasoning powder, fish sauce etc
I love XO sauce and used to make it myself. Now I am just too lazy :-) The fried rice looks so moreish.
XO sauce + sambal belacan – that packs a punch of flavors! I don’t think I have tried winged beans before though I know its existence for a while now. Don’t think I can find winged beans here.
