Crab and Chinese Sausage Fried Rice
Chinese sausage is a wonderful ingredient. Its sweet, salty, and slightly smoky. For the best flavor, start with a dry sauté pan or wok set on medium heat. Add sausage and turn to low. The fat will render and in about 5 minutes, you can remove the sausage, leaving the fat. This is where a ton of flavor is! Use this fat to fry the rest of the ingredients.
