PORK WITH FRIED RICE AND VEGETABLE CASSEROLE
Bites of pork with rice and vegetables. It takes a while, but it is truly delicious! We buy any cut of pork when on sale and freeze it, this is a way that we can cook it where it is delicious and (sorta) healthy too. I love this because it is so easy to reheat and eat and the kids will eat every bite. Serve with extra soy sauce.

Steps:
- Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and break slices into crumbles. Reserve bacon drippings.
- Bring 1 3/4 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Beat eggs and 2 tablespoons water together in a bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons reserved bacon drippings in a skillet; cook egg mixture in hot bacon drippings until hard-cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer egg to a plate and cut into thin slices.
- Heat remaining bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir green onions in hot bacon drippings until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour onion over eggs and return skillet to heat.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry comes together quickly and easily.
- Use a Wok: If you have one, use a wok to cook your stir-fry. A wok's large surface area and high sides help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the food from sticking.
- High Heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly sear the meat and vegetables and create a slightly charred flavor.
- Stir Constantly: Stir your stir-fry constantly to prevent the food from burning. This will also help to evenly distribute the sauce and flavors.
- Add Sauce Last: Add the sauce to your stir-fry last. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and ensure that it evenly coats the meat and vegetables.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that the food is hot and flavorful.
