Pork Fried Rice

I needed to make a quick and easy dinner because I was going to a movie with my girlfriend. After looking through the refrigerator, I grabbed some leftover garlic rice, the garlic crusted pork roast, a few eggs, some bacon, and green onions and made this pork fried rice recipe. This pork fried was a hearty and delicious meal that my husband, son, and I enjoyed, and we thought it paired well with an Asian salad. My daughter was not a fan (because it had eggs).

Pork Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 cups cold leftover garlic rice – made the day before and refrigerated
• 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Leftover garlic crusted pork roast, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 3 tbsp soy, to taste
• 1/2 tsp of white pepper

How to Make Pork Fried Rice:

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, remove bacon from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Crumble and set aside.

Remove all but 2 tsp bacon grease from the skillet, then add vegetable oil to the pan. Add the garlic and ginger to the pan. Sauté for 60 seconds, then add the rice, crumbled bacon, green onion (keeping some for garnish), diced pork roast, soy sauce, and white pepper. Mix the rice thoroughly.

Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly, for 45 seconds or until thoroughly cooked. Taste and add more soy sauce or white pepper if needed.

Remove from heat, top with the remaining green onions, and serve. Enjoy!
