Fried Rice with Chinese Sausages

If you realise, I have been dishing out mostly one dish meal these days. Yeah, time is a constraint since I have a small kitchen and apartment and even the slightest noise will wake the baby, which means I can only start cooking after the little empress wakes up from her nap. The problem is, once she wakes up, she expects some entertainment and I can't leave her alone in her playpen for long. So, that's why we have all these quick to cook one dish meal :)

In case you wonder why the colour of the rice looks a but reddish, that's because I've always use brown + red rice :) If I cook white rice, I think it would be considered an exception ;p
