Sausage Fried Rice

One of my favorite weeknight recipes! The only thing you need to have is cold rice. I either make extra when I cook dinner the night before or make it earlier in the day and refrigerate until dinner than night. Other than that it’s just a matter of stirring together the stuff you want in the fried rice! I like edamame because it’s bite size and easy, and I don’t really like peas. But use peas and carrots, use stir fried or steamed broccoli. Up to you! My family loves this with Aidell’s Chicken Sausage with Bacon and Pineapple, but you can use any leftover meat you might have. It would be soooo good with leftover BBQ!

2-3 C. cold rice

1/4 C. minced green onion

2 minced garlic cloves

1/2 C. defrosted edamame (shelled)

1 package chicken sausage (4 sausages cut into bite sized pieces)

2 eggs, scrambled

1/4 plus another 1/4 C. soy sauce

Using a non stick saute pan or wok, cook sausage in about a teaspoon of sesame oil until browned. Set aside.

Add another teaspoon of sesame oil and cook onion, garlic and edamame for about a minute until fragrant. Set aside.

Pour the beaten egg into the pan, and scramble. When egg is almost done, add rice, 1/4 C. soy sauce and stir well until rice is hot. Add meat and veggies back in along with the other 1/4C. soy sauce and stir until cooked through and steaming.

Serve in bowls with more sliced green onion on top for garnish!
