THE BEST PORK FRIED RICE



The Best Pork Fried Rice image

We were inspired by the Cantonese-style BBQ pork fried rice for its sweet and slightly smoky flavor. The pork strips are marinated in a savory sauce with a hint of honey, with extra sauce for seasoning the whole dish. It's important to cook the components on high heat to get a quick sear and even browning. Tossing the food in the skillet is quicker and more efficient than stirring with a spoon. If you don't know how, this recipe is an excellent one to practice with.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
8 ounces 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork blade steaks
8 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 packed cups snow peas, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup bean sprouts
4 large eggs, beaten
4 cups cooked and cooled rice, preferably jasmine (from 2 cups uncooked)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Thai basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin, Shaoxing wine, honey, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl until combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of the soy marinade for the rice.
  • Cut the pork into 2-inch strips about 1/4-inch thick and toss in the soy marinade until completely coated. Let sit uncovered at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the marinade penetrate. Drain through a mesh strainer, discard the marinade and return the pork to the bowl.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until the oil shimmers and tiny wisps of smoke are visible. Cook the pork, tossing often, until browned but not charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Cook the onions, tossing often, until translucent and just tender, about 2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the onions to the large bowl.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Cook the snow peas and bean sprouts, tossing often, until bright green but lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the large bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the beaten eggs and stir vigorously for 10 seconds (no, really, 10 seconds). Transfer to the large bowl and break the egg up into 1-inch pieces.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the rice, patting it down into an even layer and breaking up any clumps, and let sit undisturbed for 1 minute to fry. Then vigorously toss, breaking up any clumps, until the grains dry out, separate and start to crisp and lightly brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pork, vegetables and egg to the rice and vigorously toss (or stir) until completely combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed into the rice. Season with the remaining soy marinade if necessary, adding 1 tablespoon at a time and tossing well to combine.
  • Top the fried rice with the scallions and basil before serving.

QUICK PORK FRIED RICE

A few leftovers and bits from the fridge turn into a great dinner in less than 45 minutes! If I have a leftover grilled pork chop or the tail of a roast, I freeze it until I have enough for this dish. You can also use chicken and substitute some of the veggies for bits you are cleaning up from the fridge. Serve with sweet Thai chili sauce on the side.

PORK FRIED RICE



Pork Fried Rice image

This is my revised version of another pork fried rice recipe. I often substitute chicken for pork, and it doesn't change anything. I have used both basmati rice and long-grain rice which gives the dish only a slight flavor difference. I have also added celery in the past with good outcomes. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and easier to fry, resulting in a more flavorful and fluffy dish.
  • Choose the right type of pork: Pork belly or pork shoulder are ideal for fried rice because they have a good balance of fat and meat, resulting in a flavorful and tender texture.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use high-quality vegetables: Fresh, crisp vegetables add color, texture, and flavor to fried rice. Choose vegetables that are in season and at their peak of freshness.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the rice from frying properly and result in a soggy dish. Cook the rice in batches if necessary.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the rice from sticking and will also help to develop a nice browned crust.
  • Cook the rice over high heat: High heat is essential for achieving a crispy texture. Make sure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the rice.
  • Stir-fry the rice frequently: Stir-frying the rice frequently will help to prevent it from sticking and will also help to evenly distribute the heat.
  • Add the vegetables and pork at the right time: Add the vegetables and pork to the rice at the right time to ensure that they are cooked properly. Vegetables should be added first, followed by the pork.
  • Season the rice to taste: Season the fried rice to taste with soy sauce, fish sauce, or other seasonings. Be careful not to over-season the rice.

Crispy pork fried rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
