Pork Fried Rice
Savory, hearty, and deeply satisfying, Pork Fried Rice is a beloved stir-fried rice dish that combines tender pork, fluffy rice, crisp vegetables, and classic Asian seasonings — perfect for a filling lunch or dinner that’s packed with comforting flavor.
The dish begins with long-grain or jasmine rice, cooked just right — light, fluffy, and dry enough to soak up all the bold flavors without turning mushy. Thin slices or small cubes of pork — often marinated with a touch of soy sauce, garlic, and pepper — are stir-fried in a hot wok until they’re juicy and caramelized, adding rich, meaty depth to the rice.
An assortment of colorful vegetables like diced carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, onions, green peas, and fresh spring onions bring crunch, freshness, and vibrant color to the dish. Beaten eggs may be scrambled in for an extra layer of texture and savory richness.
Everything is tossed together over high heat with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and a splash of vinegar or oyster sauce, giving the rice its signature smoky, savory taste. A pinch of black pepper or chili flakes can add mild heat, while a sprinkle of fresh spring onions or coriander adds a final burst of freshness.
Served steaming hot, Pork Fried Rice is delicious on its own or paired with stir-fried veggies, chili chicken, or dumplings — a perfect comfort food that’s satisfying, flavorful, and always hits the spot.
