How to make Classic Pork Fried Rice
- In a small bowl whisk soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine (or Sherry), and sugar until combined.
- Heat a wok or skillet on high heat. Add vegetable oil, onions and carrots cook for 2-3 minutes add garlic and cook another minute. Push all the veggies to one side and add the whisked egg on the other side. Using a spatula move the eggs around just until cooked. Mix them in with the veggies.
- Add in the pork (my Chinese BBQ pork) and mix. Add in the cold rice and sauce mix until combined. Cook about 5-6 minutes stirring every minute or so.
- Add in the peas and salt and pepper and mix until combined. Mix in sesame oil if desired.
This fried rice is perfect as the star of your meal or an amazing side dish. I just need a bowl and a spoon and I’m in heaven!
