Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 cooked pork chops, diced (about 2 cups)
1 cup rice, regular or instant, cooked according to package directions
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Directions

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggs and tilt pan to coat the surface. Cook eggs in an even layer until cooked through, flipping halfway through cooking (about 2 minutes per side). Remove eggs, dice into small pieces and set aside.

To the same pan, heat remaining peanut oil. Add onion, garlic and ginger and cook 2 minutes. Add diced pork and cook 3 minutes, until golden brown. Add rice, soy sauce and sesame oil and cook 2 minutes to heat through. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.

Transfer to a serving plate and top with chopped eggs.

We love this recipe!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Like the other reviewers, we feel there needs to be more rice and veggies added. I am by no means a great cook, but I really... love the flavors of the oils- nearly tastes like they do it at restaurants! Its my 15 yr old son's favorite dish! I really like that it is easy to fix so I can show him basics in the kitchen too.Read more

Yuuummmmy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We love this recipe! I do add an extra egg however, because we like the extra protein in there, and I may consider adding a... veggie, like carrots or something, the next time I make it since reading the other reviews. I add the rice straight out of the rice cooker and it does not get mushy. The cilantro makes this dish sooo yummy!Read more

Good but needed changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was a great starting point but I agree w/other reviewers that it needed the peas & carrots. I used about 2 - 2 1/2 cups... cooked & chilled rice (DON'T use it hot or it will be mushy), 3 eggs & added about 3/4 cup of frozen pea & carrot mix. The rest of the recipe I did exactly as written and it came out great! I think using the pork from the other recipe actually added a little flavor. Also, I cooked it in my wok and as long as you have everything chopped & ready to go, the wok is awesome & fast!Read more

Not the best....
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This was VERY salty, probably half the soy sauce called for would work. I would have liked more rice, the pork to rice ratio... seemed off to me.Read more

Pretty Good
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was my first attempt at Fried Rice. While I was pleased, it wasn't until I read other reviews, after the fact, that I... realized that what was missing was a vegetable. I will make it again, but will add peas, and probably green onions at the end of cooking. Over all, however, I thought the recipe good for my first attempt.Read more

not enough rice
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The problem with this recipe is the rice to pork/egg ratio. There isn't enough rice. The other ingredients out weigh the... dish. I make fried rice all the time and I would add at least 3cups of cooked rice.Read more
