Recipe type: Main Dishes
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked white rice (cold)
- 4 ounce of ground pork (or your choice of protein)
- ½ tsp. salt (separate ¼ tsp)
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp mushroom dark soy sauce or dark soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp. light soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. fish sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup frozen mix vegetables
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Cooking spray oil
Instructions
- Combine dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl.
- Mince garlic and ginger.
- Chop small onion and green onions.
- Place frozen vegetable in a bowl.
- Heat wok or pan on medium high with cooking spray oil and crack two eggs and scramble. Cook until fully cook and remove from wok/pan and set aside.
- In the same wok/pan, spray cooking oil into wok/pan and cook ground pork or protein of choice and season with (1/4 tsp) salt and pepper. Break up the ground pork and as you mix. Cook until fully cooked. Remove from wok/pan.
- Use vegetable oil in the same wok/pan to cook your aromatics; garlic, ginger. Add chopped onion and mix until translucent. Add frozen vegetables and mix all vegetables and aromatics. Push to one side of wok/pan.
- Add cold white rice and break it up with a spoon or spatula. I switch between the two. The heat from the wok/pan will help break up the cold lumpy rice. Add remaining ¼ tsp salt.
- Add the cooked ground pork and mix.
- Add in sauce and mix.
- Turn off heat and add in scramble eggs and mix.
- Add in chopped green onions and serve.
