- Combine rice, water, 1 pinch salt and 1 teaspoon oil in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside (leaving the lid on for 10 minutes). Spread the rice onto a tray, cover and refrigerate until cold.
- To make the pickled ginger: Combine sugar and vinegar in a saucepan. Add ginger and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Heat a wok until hot. Add oil, 1/2 the ginger, 1/2 the garlic and egg and stir until cooked. Transfer to a plate.
- Wipe the wok clean. Add a little more oil and remaining ginger and garlic. Stir in Chinese sausage and cook until fat has rendered from the sausage. Add tempeh and stir-fry until well coated in the oil. Add Chinese broccoli, mustard greens and rice. Cook over medium heat until warmed through.
