Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Once your skillet is hot enough, add the lightly beaten eggs and allow to cook slightly before scrambling into small pieces with a rubber spatula. Once fully cooked, remove your scrambled eggs from the pan.
  • Preheat another tablespoon of vegetable oil in the skillet just as before, and then add the ground pork, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until the pork is completely cooked through and no pink remains.
  • Next, add the onion, garlic and ginger, cooking until the onion is slightly soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the frozen peas and carrots, cooking for another 1-2 minutes or 'til heated through.
  • Now add the cooked rice and scrambled eggs to the meat mixture in the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or 'til heated through.
  • Finally, pull your pork fried rice off of the heat, and add the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to coat evenly. That's it!
  • Serve and enjoy your pork fried rice immediately. Optionally, you can garnish the top with freshly chopped green onions!

Notes

How should I store leftover pork fried rice?
Although fried rice is best served immediately after cooking, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can reheat it in the microwave, but I recommend heating it back up in a hot skillet with a little oil instead, the same way as you cooked it initially. This will help to sort of "crisp" it back up so that it doesn't become wet and soggy.
