Ginger Garlic Pork Fried Rice

• Pork loin or shoulder

  8.8 oz
• Cooked white rice (day-old preferred)

  10.6 oz
• Soy sauce

  2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil

  1 teaspoon
• Garlic, minced

  2 cloves
• Fresh ginger, grated

  1 tablespoon
• Large egg

  1
• Green onions, chopped

  2 stalks
• Vegetable oil

  1 tablespoon
• Salt

  0.5 teaspoon
• Black pepper

  0.3 teaspoon

All Steps

1. 1

   Cut the pork into small, bite-sized pieces. Season the pork with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked pork from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the same skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the cooked white rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing some of the rice grains to crisp slightly.

5. 5

   Push the rice to one side of the skillet, creating an empty space. Crack the egg into the empty space and quickly scramble it until just set. Once scrambled, mix the egg into the rice.

6. 6

   Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the rice. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir vigorously to combine all ingredients and coat the rice and pork evenly with the sauce.

7. 7

   Stir in the chopped green onions. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is thoroughly heated through.

8. 8

   Taste the fried rice and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired. Serve hot immediately.
