Chinese sausage and Shrimp Fried rice

One pot meals are usually your garden variety stick to your ribs comfort food. Fried rice, the one wok meal is no different. Day old rice from the fridge is best. The rice dries out and is much easier to separate. Leftover meat entrees are great to toss in. Went freezer diving and found a pack of Chinese sausage and some shrimp and who doesn't have a bag of carrots and peas in the freezer? There is no set guidelines to making fried rice.
