Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice

One of my best friends has been asking me to post some more easy "everyday" recipes to help her cope with having to cook for herself. This is definitely one of those lazy week night recipes because you don't have to run to the grocery store. I think you can make fried rice with just about anything in your fridge, as long as you have some eggs and some rice! In fact, I always like using old refrigerated rice because fresh rice tends to be too sticky and also the cold rice really picks up on all the oils and flavors as it slowly heats up. For this fried rice I decided to go with some taiwanese sausage, but only because we had a bunch in our fridge... I've done the same thing with chicken, hot dogs, frozen shrimp... and just about anything, stay tuned if you're interested in the kimchi fried rice version! Anyway, here is the recipe!

Ingredients:
5 Eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dashi (optional)
4 cups of day old rice (2 cups uncooked) *
5 Taiwanese sausages cut into slices
2 Tbs cooking oil
2 tsp salt
green onion (optional)


Directions:

1. Heat oil in a wok on high heat. While the oil is being heated, beat five eggs with 1/2 tsp salt and dashi. *Be sure to beat it in an upward motion rather than stirring... think of how you wrap a string around a yo-yo but double time speed! It makes your eggs fluffier* 
2. Check if the oil is ready by dropping a dash of egg mixture in the oil, if it immediately bubbles up then you're ready to go. Pour the egg mixture in the heated wok and let it settle for 30 seconds before scrambling the eggs. Once the eggs are no longer runny, remove and set aside. (I prefer dragging the eggs from one side to another and allowing the uncooked portions to run and cook up, it gives you big chucks on egg that you can later break up). 
3. Place all the sliced taiwanese sausage in the pan and stir occasionally without adding any more oil, the sausages will let out plenty of oil on their own. 
4. After you begin to smell the fragrant scent of the oily sausage, add the rice to the wok and stir fry the rice with the sausage. Cook the rice until it is fully reheated and season with 2tsp salt.
5. Using low heat, add the eggs and do a thorough mix! 
6. (optional) Garnish with green onion
