Leftover Pork Fried Rice
Easy fried rice recipe with leftover pork meat. Quick midweek lunch or light dinner.
Ingredients
- 1-2 cups leftover pork meat (already cooked) or whatever you have left
- 1 cup rice white or brown rice
- 2 cups water more if needed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup red pepper chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or hoisin sauce or to taste
- 1-2 cloves garlic chopped or pressed
- 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil or more
- 2 green onions springs chopped
- salt & pepper to your taste
Instructions
- Cook the rice first by boiling water with a generous pinch of salt and the rice. Boil on medium heat and try to resist stirring the rice. Cook until soft (and more water if needed) and leave the rice to cool down (you can also do this the night before or in the morning). Keep the rice in the fridge if not using it straight away.
- In a large frying pan or a skillet fry the eggs on a bit of oil or butter as if you are making scrambled eggs - mix them around a bit. Season lightly with salt and pepper. When they are done, set them aside to use later.
- Chop all the vegetables (onion, pepper, garlic) and then add them to the frying pan together with some oil. Cook until the onion is a bit translucent - about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the rice and continue to cook.
- Add the soy sauce and stir through making sure that the rice doesn't burn.
- Add the chopped leftover pork and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Cook for few more minutes until the meat is warmed through and hot.
- Add the scrambled eggs to the rice mix and mix them in.
- Serve with some chopped green onion springs or other green herbs.
