Fried Pork Sauce

The combination of flavors is comforting yet vibrant, offering a satisfying home-style taste that is both simple to execute and deeply delicious.

Note
To prevent soggy fried rice, ensure you use cold, cooked rice. Ideally, cook the rice a day ahead and chill it in the refrigerator before using.
You can substitute white rice with brown rice for a nuttier flavor and more fiber, though it may require slightly longer cooking time to heat through.
This dish can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in a pan or microwave until hot.
Adjust the amount of chilli to suit your preferred spice level. Remove seeds from the chilli for less heat.
