Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage

Here's my first post. Over the weekend I decided to clean my fridge and found some Chinese Sausage inside and day old jasmine rice. What a great weekend meal. My husband loves this version of fried rice. I think it's the flavorful sausage and teriyaki sauce. I didn't use the black dried black mushrooms with this recipe but my mom likes to add it to this recipe. I used to use Yoshida sauce and I didn't renew my BJ's memebrship so I have been using Soyaki from Trader Joe's. I think it's better than the gourmet sauce I have been using. I do recommend Yoshida for other recipes.
