Sausage/Spam
As this dish is very versatile, you can add of your favourite types of sausage or spam, which you can easily get in your pantry. The most popular sausage fried rice recipes are made with Chinese Lap Cheong, spam, breakfast sausage, and frankfurters. One of my friends said she made it with chorizo and it was really delicious. Ground meat goes well too.

Some people do not like sausage and spam because they are not so healthy food but I like them. I love to add in my fried rice, fried noodles, and instant ramen.

Can I make it vegetarian? Yes, you can try with small dices of tofu or vegetarian sausage or mincemeat like Quorn. Swap the oyster sauce with vegetarian oyster sauce or mushroom sauce.

Ingredients
1 pound ground pork sausage
5 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ head cabbage, cored and shredded
3 carrots, chopped
6 cups cooked white rice, cold
¼ cup soy sauce, or to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can bean sprouts, drained
1 (6 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
ground black pepper to taste
3 green onions, chopped

Directions

1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until evenly browned. Drain, and remove sausage from the pan. In the same pan, using the remaining coating of grease from the sausage, scramble the eggs, stirring frequently until cooked through. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a very large skillet or electric skillet over medium-high heat. Stir fry the cabbage and carrots just until the cabbage has wilted. Add the cold rice, and fry, stirring so that there are no clumps. Mix in the sausage and pour in some soy sauce. Stir in bean sprouts, peas, and eggs, mixing well so there are no big chunks of egg. Season with pepper, and stir in green onions just before removing from the heat. Adjust soy sauce to taste, and serve.
