Sausage and Asparagus Fried Rice

Fried Rice is one of my favorite meals when the refrigerator looks bare.  This recipe incorporates the leftovers from Sunday (Hamburgers with Grilled Asparagus) 

Ingredients:

2 tbsp of an oil (such as canola, olive, or butter)
2 eggs
1/2-1 lb sausage, cooked and broken into small pieces (crab meat, shrimp, chicken, or pork would be good too)
3 tsp grated ginger
3 cloves garlic
2-3 cups of leftover rice (any variety)
1/2 of an onion, small dice
10-12 asparagus spears chopped into 1 inch pieces
4 tbsp ketchup or chili sauce
2-3 tbsp soy sauce
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Steps:

1.  Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium high heat.  Add the two eggs, scramble, and cook until soft-set.  Remove to a dish.
2.  Add the meat.  Cook over medium high heat until sausage begins to cook through.  Remove to a dish.
3.  Add ginger and garlic to the pan.  Cook until soft, about 1 minute.
4.  Add the leftover rice, using your fingers or a spoon to break up the grains of rice.  Cook about three minutes.
5.  Add 1-1&1/2 cups of vegetables, in this case onion and asparagus.  Cook three minutes.
6.  Add the ketchup and soy sauce.  Continue to cook, stirring frequently.
7.  Take a taste - adjust salt, pepper, or sauce to taste.
