It's a versatile recipe perfect for using up leftover rice and can be customized with your favorite mix-ins. This guide will walk you through the steps to create a flavorful pork fried rice that’s sure to be a hit at your table.

Ingredients:

1 cup white rice
170g
1 tbsp soy sauce
18g
1.50 tbsp sesame oil
20g
2 eggs
110g
4 tbsp vegetable oil
54g
2 garlic cloves
6g
12 oz pork fillet
340g
1 cup onion
100g
2 carrots
120g
1/3 cup peas
44g
1/3 cup oyster sauce
100g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice: Begin by cooking 1 cup of white rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let the rice cool completely. For best results, use rice that has been cooked and cooled overnight.
2. Prepare Ingredients: While the rice is cooling, prepare all your ingredients. Mince the garlic cloves, dice the onion and carrots, thinly slice the pork fillet, and measure out the peas, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce.
3. Scramble the Eggs: Heat a small amount of vegetable oil (about 1 tbsp) in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them, and then pour into the heated wok or pan. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
4. Cook the Pork: In the same pan, add another 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced pork. Stir-fry the pork for about 4-5 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and starting to brown. Remove the pork from the pan and set it aside with the scrambled eggs.
5. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the pan. Once hot, add the minced garlic, diced onions, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled rice to the pan with the vegetables. Pour over the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine and coat the rice evenly. Continue to stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
7. Add Peas, Pork, and Egg: Stir in the peas, the cooked pork, and scrambled eggs. Pour in the oyster sauce, stirring to combine everything thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and well-mixed.
8. Serve: Once the ingredients are evenly distributed and heated through, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the pork fried rice hot and enjoy!

Tips:

- Use day-old or leftover rice for the best texture; fresh rice can be too sticky.

- Cut all your ingredients into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.

- Cook the rice with a little bit of oil in the wok or pan first to prevent it from sticking.

- High heat is crucial for this dish to achieve the desired ‘wok hei’ or smoky flavor.

- Season your dish gradually and taste as you go to avoid over-salting.

- Feel free to add more vegetables or substitute with your favorites, such as bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas.

- Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

By following these steps, you’ll have a wholesome and scrumptious pork fried rice that’s packed with flavor and texture. This dish can be a complete meal on its own or paired with other Asian-inspired dishes. Enjoy your homemade pork fried rice!
