Pork Fried Rice
Description
This classic Pork Fried Rice is a hearty and comforting dish that transforms leftover cold rice into a flavorful meal. The combination of savory soy sauce, sweet sugar, and aromatic green onions creates a perfect balance of tastes. Tender strips of lean pork are stir-fried until browned, then mixed with crisp-tender celery and bean sprouts for added texture. The rice is tossed with scrambled eggs, ensuring every grain is coated in savory goodness.Directions
-
In a small bowl, combine the egg, water, and salt. Beat well and set aside.
-
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil and pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to coat the surface evenly.
-
Cook the egg mixture until it forms a pancake and the bottom is slightly golden. Flip and cook briefly, then remove from heat. Let it cool, then roll it up tightly and slice crosswise into thin slivers. Set aside.
-
Wipe out the wok if necessary. Heat the remaining oil in the wok or large skillet over high heat.
-
Add the pork strips, sugar, and salt. Stir-fry until the pork is browned and cooked through.
-
Add the sliced green onions and celery. Stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
-
Add the cold cooked rice and bean sprouts. Stir-fry, breaking up any clumps of rice, until everything is heated through and well mixed with the meat and vegetables.
-
Pour in the soy sauce and stir thoroughly to coat the rice evenly.
-
Make a well in the center of the rice mixture. Pour in the beaten eggs.
-
Allow the eggs to set slightly, then scramble them into the rice using chopsticks or a spatula, stirring until the eggs are cooked and distributed throughout the rice.
-
Turn the fried rice out onto a serving platter.
-
Top with the reserved slivered egg ribbons.
-
Arrange the prepared Green Onion Brushes around the border of the rice for garnish.
