3. **Cut the Egg** — Turn off the heat, remove the eggs, cut them into 2-5 cm² pieces, and return them to the wok (you can also crumble them directly with a spatula).
   - Duration: 1 min
   - Tip: Evenly sized egg pieces look more appealing.

4. **Make the Sauce** — Turn the heat back on, pour in cola, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fermented broad bean chili paste (doubanjiang), and oyster sauce. Stir to combine.

5. **Reduce and Stir-Fry** — Heat until the liquid in the wok is reduced to 1/3, then add the rice and ham sausage and stir-fry.
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: Stir constantly while reducing to prevent sticking.

6. **Steam the Egg** — After stir-frying evenly, reduce to low heat, make a well in the center of the food, crack in 1 egg, cover with a lid, and steam for 2 minutes.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: This step adds moisture and depth to the fried rice.

7. **Plate and Serve** — Uncover and stir-fry until the third egg is fully cooked. Sprinkle with chopped scallion and ground pepper, then serve.
   - Duration: 1 min
   - Tip: For a drier texture, stir-fry a bit longer.
