    pork fried rice

    This is the best pork fried rice, super simple to make, and always a hit!

    Skip the Chinese take-out next time and satisfy your takeout craving with this easy fried rice instead. Fresh and flavorful and comes together in under 20 minutes. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

     

    My Chinese BBQ Pork is absolutely perfect to add to this fried rice. But you can easily use any leftover protein and it makes a hearty meal.

     

    How to make Classic Pork Fried Rice

    • In a small bowl whisk soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine (or Sherry), and sugar until combined.
    • Heat a wok or skillet on high heat. Add vegetable oil, onions and carrots cook for 2-3 minutes add garlic and cook another minute. Push all the veggies to one side and add the whisked egg on the other side. Using a spatula move the eggs around just until cooked. Mix them in with the veggies.

     

    • Add in the pork (my Chinese BBQ pork) and mix. Add in the cold rice and sauce mix until combined. Cook about 5-6 minutes stirring every minute or so.
    • Add in the peas and salt and pepper and mix until combined. Mix in sesame oil if desired.

     

    This fried rice is perfect as the star of your meal or an amazing side dish. I just need a bowl and a spoon and I'm in heaven!

      This is by far the best Pork Fried Rice recipe I’ve ever made. OMG Delicious. I am a self professed Pork Fried Rice Snob. Actually I just like it where I like it so that would be why I’d prefer from specific places. But now, I enjoy making it and eating it right at home. I must confess, we do buy an order of BBQ’d pork from a local Chinese restaurant and cut it up and put it in. We tried doing it on our own (Not your recipe) and just didn’t care for it. Thank you very much for sharing your special talents and recipes with us!!!!

      For this particular recipe, I don't recommend substitutions you can leave it out.

      I make a lot of Chinese, Korean and Thai foods. I decided to try this recipe because it is different from my version. My husband thought it was delicious and my son and I liked it too but we (my son and I)had to add extra soy.

      Very very good! I used Korean brown rice and the sherry, bc that’s what I had on hand. I also added some frozen corn to the peas. I did use the sesame oil. I’ll definitely make this again! Thank you!
