PORK FRIED RICE

I love rice in ANY fashion, but I love a good fried rice. As you know, you can substitute chicken, beef or shrimp or you could keep it pure vegetarian. I like to eat this as a meal in itself, but you can certainly serve it with your favorite Asian dish.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups cooked diced pork medallions

2 cups cooked cooled rice

1/4 cup shallot diced

3 cloves garlic minced

3/4 cup carrot diced or shredded

1/4 cup peas

2 large eggs

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup black bean sauce

4 tsp peanut oil

salt

pepper

Heat 2 tsp peanut oil in a pan over medium heat. Scramble the eggs in the pan. When they are done cooking remove them and set aside.

Heat the remaining 2 tsp oil in the pan. Add shallots, garlic, carrots and peas and cook about 2 minutes. Add the rice and pork and cook until warm through. Add the bean sauce to coat the rice. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the eggs just before serving.

Couldn't be easier! I wish I was eating this now!

ENJOY!
