Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a saucepan, bring the 1 3/4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the minute rice. Cover and set aside to cook according to package directions, usually about 1 minute.
  3. While the rice cooks, place the pork rib chops in a baking dish. Pour the soy sauce evenly over the chops.
  4. Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from heat and crumble into small pieces.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, drain any excess water if necessary.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, crumbled bacon, beaten eggs, and sliced green onions. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  7. Spread the rice mixture evenly over the pork chops in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the casserole is heated thoroughly.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

Substitutions: You can substitute minute rice with pre-cooked regular rice or brown rice for a healthier option. Adjust baking time if using brown rice as it may require longer to heat through.

Variations: Add other vegetables like peas, carrots, or corn to the rice mixture for extra nutrition and color.

Tip: Ensure the pork chops are not too thick, as this can affect the cooking time. If they are thick, consider pounding them slightly before baking.
