A quick and delicious recipe with pork fried rice and green onions. A good idea to use leftover rice.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 lb of ground pork (450 g)
- 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 3 cups of leftover steamed rice
- salt to taste
- 2 teaspoons of sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ground pork. Stir and cook until browned, 2 minutes.
- Add the green onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the rice. Cook and stir to mix everything together. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir to mix the sauce with the other ingredients.
- Add the mixed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook until the vegetables defrost, 1 minute or so.
- Move everything to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the other side of the pan.
- Add the beaten eggs. Let the bottom set for a couple seconds. Then scramble the eggs and use your spatula to cut them into small pieces. Then mix the eggs with the other ingredients.
- Adjust the seasoning, if needed. If you like slightly crispy rice, let the rice sit on the hot pan for 20 to 30 seconds without stirring.
- Add the sesame oil and mix everything again. Transfer the fried rice onto serving plates.
- Serve hot as a main or side dish.
The trick: To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free oyster sauce or homemade oyster sauce and use tamari to replace the soy sauce.
