Easy and savory fried rice with Chinese sausage. This fried rice is based on basic Chinese egg fried rice.
This is a very common and popular Chinese fried rice dish. I got a large bag of homemade Chinese sausage from my mother- in law. So this is Hunan style Chinese sausage. The most common method to consume Chinese sausage is to steam directly with rice. I have introduced this way in this post: how to cook Chinese sausage.
Since the sausage I use contains more fat than lean, so I add some fresh chili pepper to reduce the fatty feeling and improve the flavor. Since store-bought sausages usually contain more lean meat, fresh chili pepper is optional and you can replace it with green peas, carrots or other ingredients if you like.The saltiness of different types of sausage might be different. So add salt accordingly.

Instructions
