How Do You Make Pork Fried Rice?
- You need to get a few things to make perfect fried rice. One is a hot wok or a large skillet if you don’t have a wok, and two you need to get all your ingredients ready.
- Start by cooking the beaten eggs in peanut oil. Yep, peanut oil. It makes such a big flavor difference, I might be using peanut oil in my scrambled eggs from now on. If you don’t have peanut oil you can use canola or vegetable oil, just not olive oil for this fried rice recipe because the cooking temperature is too hot.
- Remove the eggs from the wok and add the pork, breaking up in pieces to brown.
- Then you add in the vegetables, rice, and the eggs. Season it up with soy sauce and sesame oil and you’re good to go.
What Can You Substitute In This Fried Rice Recipe?
I like to add some hot sauce, or crushed red pepper flakes to mine but you can customize it however you’d like. Sesame seeds and sliced scallions on top are a nice garnish to add some flavor and some crunch.
You can also swap in ground chicken, turkey or beef instead of pork! Pork is just the traditional ingredient but most other proteins will work, even tofu will work if that’s your thing!
Any other vegetables you have in your fridge will work in this fried rice recipe too. Chopped broccoli, shredded carrots, cabbage, asparagus tips or cauliflower are all good choices.
Even cauliflower rice instead of the real rice in this recipe to make it a low carb meal!
