Ingredients

1 tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine ((or dry cooking sherry))
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
5 cups cooked Jasmine rice ((add 1 teaspoon oil to rice when cooking))
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion ((diced))
1 pound Chinese BBQ pork
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bean sprouts
2 eggs ((scrambled))
2 scallions ((chopped))

Steps:

Start by combining the hot water, honey, sesame oil, shaoxing wine (if using), soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper in a small bowl. This is the sauce that you'll be adding to the rice, and it's much easier to have it combined and ready to go before you start cooking.
Take your cooked rice and fluff it with a fork or with your hands (you can rinse your hands in cold water if the rice starts sticking to them). There shouldn't be any big clumps!
With the wok over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the onions until translucent and then stir in the roast pork. Add the rice and mix well. If the rice is cold from the refrigerator, continue stir-frying until the rice is warmed up, which will take about 5 minutes. If the rice was made fresh, then you just need to mix until everything is incorporated.
Add the sauce mixture and salt and mix with a scooping motion until the rice is evenly coated with sauce. You will have to break up any remaining clumps of rice with the spatula as best as possible, but no need to be obsessive. The rice should be hot by this time.
Toss in your mung bean sprouts, scrambled eggs, and scallions. Mix thoroughly for another minute or two and serve!

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup carrots, diced or pre-shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups leftover white rice
1/4 cup black bean sauce
1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, optional
1 cup diced cooked pork
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until cooked through and scrambled. Remove eggs from pan and set aside.
To the same skillet over medium heat, add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add scallions, carrots and garlic and saute 2 minutes. Add rice and pork; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add black bean sauce and stir to coat rice. If the black bean sauce is overly thick, add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Stir in cooked egg just before serving.

PORK FRIED RICE

Pork Fried Rice image

This is my revised version of another pork fried rice recipe. I often substitute chicken for pork, and it doesn't change anything. I have used both basmati rice and long-grain rice which gives the dish only a slight flavor difference. I have also added celery in the past with good outcomes. Enjoy.

Tips:

Use day-old rice. This will help the rice fry up nice and crispy.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the rice will steam instead of fry.
Use high heat. This will help the rice get crispy.
Stir the rice constantly. This will prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
Add the pork and vegetables towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from overcooking.
Season the rice to taste. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, or fish sauce to taste.
Serve the rice immediately. It's best when it's hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Crispy pork fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and pork. With a few simple tips, you can make crispy pork fried rice that is sure to impress your family and friends.
