Fried Rice

To follow are two distinct fried rice dishes based on what you are up to. Pork fried rice with a solid prep marinade and then a leftovers recipe. The pork one is epic. You can use any veggies, these just sing.

Pork Fried Rice:

Ingredients:

  • Day old cold ass rice
  • One boneless pork chop
  • Veggies
    • Green onions (1 small bunch, use just the money end)
    • Carrot (1)
    • Green Beans (about 15)
    • Broccolini (1 small bunch, tops only)
    • Bean Sprouts (small handful)
    • Yellow or red bell pepper (1/4)
    • Garlic (1 clove)
  • Marinade (mix up)
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
    • Pepper
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Process:

  1. Dice up all the veggies to your spec. Set aside
  2. Chop pork chop into small cubes
  3. Drop in marinade for 12-15 mins
  4. Fry up pork in large skillet with a very small amount of oil (since it has a tiny bit of oil) over high heat. Go about 60 second per side, you want sear texture but def med rare since it will cook a bit more later.
  5. Take pork out and sautee veggies in pork love.
  6. Drop in carrots, onions, green beans and peppers. Saute for a bit then add broccolini florets. Not too cooked. At end crush the garlic head in and mix around.
  7. Hit with salt and pepper (instead of sauces)
  8. Add a handful of rice or more, depending on how many mouths to feed. Mix around to get all the flavors combined
  9. Add in the pork, will have some juicy love. Mix it all up again and go for a few mins to blend
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes and mix in the bean sprouts
  11. Serve up

I have decided not to do egg on this one… am sure it works well.

Standard fare Ingredients:

  • Peas
  • Carrots
  • Onions
  • Cabbage 
  • A protein (steak/pork ideal) 
  • Eggs
  • Fish sauce 
  • Soy Sauce
  • Japanese bbq sauce or any kind of flavor sauce (optional) 
  • Day old cold hard rice
  • Olive oil
  • Salted Butter
  • Salt
  • Very large pan

 

Process:

  1. Dice up your protein, set aside. I prefer a medium rare to rare steak. 
  2. Dice up vegetables. Carrots small, onion julienne, cabbage thin and long. You can use anything. Add salt if you want..you will want.
  3. Saute onions and carrots in a very small amount of olive oil, less than you would think 
  4. After a while add the frozen peas. Just to warm through. 
  5. Next add cabbage, not too much, sautee for a bit 
  6. Add soy sauce and fish sauce, not too much of either. Only a few dashes of fish sauce. Work it for a few.
  7. Push veggies to the side of your very large pan. Very large pan is key
  8. Add your diced med rare steak to the open side
  9. Fry for a bit, will get a little love…
  10. Stir together… set back to side..
  11. Lay down a touch of salted butter on open side…put the cold rice on it spread evenly. “Fry” for a bit 
  12. Now mix all together… let it meld for a bit. 
  13. Push back again to one side.. Turn up heat on open side
  14. Drop 2-3 -4 eggs, let them over cook sunny side up then flip over on to the rice side and mix up. 
  15. Boom…use japanese sauce for extra flavor but very little
