Sausage Fried Rice

Submitted by Chef shapeweaver

"I had a little sausage leftover and some rice, so I started throwing things in the pan. I came up with this. I know it's not really fried rice, but I hope if you try it you'll like it. Cook time doesn't include time for leftover rice."

I used Tofurky sausage and it was great...didn't follow the ingredient quantities listed but I just threw stuff in there. Also, I fried the rice much longer than 6 minutes...overall it was a great fast dinner.
