Ingredients
2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
1/2 pound pork tenderloin, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 green onions, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare Pork:
- Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Cook Vegetables:
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the onion, peas and carrots, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add Rice and Pork:
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side.
- Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
- Add the cooked rice and pork back to the pan, stirring to combine.
4. Season and Serve:
- Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to the rice mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the pork in a bit of soy sauce and ginger before cooking.
Use day-old rice for the best texture in fried rice.
