Make
-
Mix 1 tbs. (15 ml) of oil with leftover rice. It's easiest to just use your hands for this step
-
Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring often, until pink, firm and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
-
Return pan to heat and add another tablespoon of cooking oil. Add garlic, onion, and chicken sausage to heated oil. Stir often until onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add in corn, peas, carrots, and rice. Cook stirring constantly (yes, give your arms a workout!) until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Finally add soy sauce and ginger, and gently toss to combine. Toss until heated through, ~2 minutes. Stir in green onions.
-
Serve drizzled with Sriracha if desired.
