How many times have you made a full pork loin roast only to have quite a bit left over and you find yourself in a quandary as to what to do with the leftovers, besides eating them 'as-is'?
So this time I decided to use the leftover pork to make this quick and easy Pork Fried Rice.
I don't get Chinese take-out food often, but when I do I generally get a small pint of Pork Fried Rice and Egg Drop-Wonton Soup mixed together as my meal. This recipe is delicious and perfect for a quick, weeknight meal.
How do you make Pork Fried Rice?
Start by chopping already cooked pork into small cubes; then add cooked rice, your favorite vegetables like celery, onion and garlic.

If you don't eat pork, you can certainly substitute cooked poultry or beef. This Pork Fried Rice recipe will serve two people as a main entree or four people as a side dish. ~Enjoy!

I buy Fried Rice from many Take-out restaurants, When they make the rice they season it in the rice cooker before cooking. I think they use Soy Sauce and maybe some White pepper and maybe use some Chicken Stock. Do you know of any recipe for this process. I hope you can help.

Hi Mark, I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with how they do it. My best suggestion would be to reach out to Jaden Hair at the blog Steamy Kitchen http://steamykitchen.com/. I hope she can help you.
