Similarly, this Salmon and Egg Pesto Fried Rice or Bell Peppers, Peas and Garlic Fried Rice can also enjoy some shredded lettuce in it. Our family never say "No" when more vegetables can be suitably included in any dish.
Lettuce not only complements fried rice with refreshing moisture and tender vegetable crisp, it also balances the saltiness of sausage in the fried rice.
If you enjoy vegetables in fried rice, you can also try Vegetables and Egg Fried Rice made with broccoli stems and Brussel sprouts leaves (and add some shredded lettuce if you have them in the fridge)

One serving or one bowl (leftover) rice
1 tsp soy sauce
1 egg, whisked and set aside
1 store-bought no-nitrates sausage made from chicken or pork; sliced/chopped up to smaller than bite-size pieces. (Note: If not using sausage, use ground meat to substitute. You can also use breakfast sausages
1 tbsp olive oil/canola oil
2 green onions, chopped/sliced
1 red chili , finely diced
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Handfuls of shredded lettuce (Note: add as much as you possibly can as shredded lettuce will reduce in volume when cooked)

After frying 2-3 minutes till the sausage browns, add rice, soy sauce and give it a good mix and fry in the pan.
