Stir-fried sausage with vegetables, egg and soy sauce (ソーセージと野菜の卵醤油炒め)

Japanese people cook stir-fried meat and vegetables a lot. You can substitute ham or bacon for sausage. Also you can use any leftover vegetables in your refrigerator. This dish is very easy to make. You can eat it with cooked rice and/or miso soup for breakfast or lunch as well as dinner. I remembered that my mother made this dish as breakfast when I was small. You can eat a lot of vegetables on the dish.
