Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 cups | Cooked rice |
| 1 1/2 cups | Cooked pork, cut into thin strips |
| 1 | Bell pepper, chopped |
| 1-2 | Scallions, sliced |
| 1/4 cup | Soy sauce |
| 2-3 | Garlic cloves, minced |
| 1-2 | Black pepper, to taste |
| 2 | Eggs |
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the cooked pork into thin strips, approximately one inch in length, ensuring they cook evenly.
- In a large skillet or wok, sauté the scallions in a drizzle of oil for about 5 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly tender.
- Next, introduce the chopped bell pepper to the pan, cooking until it softens, which should take a few minutes. Once done, remove both scallions and peppers from the skillet and keep them warm.
- In the same pan, add the sliced pork and brown it thoroughly, allowing the edges to caramelize slightly for added flavor.
- Once the pork is browned, pour in the soy sauce, along with the minced garlic and a dash of black pepper. Stir the mixture and let it simmer for a minute or two, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to absorb into the meat.
- Reintroduce the sautéed scallions and peppers back into the skillet, mixing them into the pork mixture.
- Add the cooked rice to the pan, stirring thoroughly to ensure everything heats through evenly, allowing the flavors to combine beautifully.
- While the rice mixture is warming, beat the eggs in a small bowl until well mixed.
- In a separate small frying pan, scramble the beaten eggs until they are fully cooked. Once done, add the scrambled eggs to the rice mixture, gently folding them in.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional scallions or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
Enjoy your Pork Fried Rice, a delightful meal perfect for using up leftovers while evoking warm memories of family cooking!
