Pork Fried Rice Recipe!!

Pork Fried Rice is a huge family favorite in my house! I love how easy it is to make and how you can easily pack it full of protein. It is perfect for weeknight dinners, and the leftovers make for amazing easy dinners the next day, or lunch.

Dinner for busy families is often takeout or something processed, as we are always on the go. Finding something like our favorite takeout and easy to make is a total win. We first made this in 2015. I love to pick up. I can pick up the Hormel Pork Tenderloins at Safeway for about $5, and the Teriyaki pork tenderloin has been our favorite for years.

Pork Fried Rice With Pork Tenderloin Ingredients:

• Frozen Carrots and Peas-you can use other veggies if you would like.
• White Rice— I used Jasmine rice to make mine you can use another white long-grain rice if you want.

How To Make pork tenderloin fried rice

Start cooking your rice on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. If you are using box rice, follow the instructions on the box.

You can mix in some garlic or broth to give your rice more flavor just be careful with adding extra salt in addition to the soy sauce.  I use an older version of the Aroma rice cooker and have had it for over 7 years and love how well it works.    Never a bad batch of rice or burnt rice.

Slice up the Pork Tenderloin into small pieces. We made ours smaller as they cooked in the pan. 

In a frying pan on high heat, place a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and allow it to warm up. Once warm, add in the pork tenderloin and cook until done. 

Scramble your eggs in a bowl and start cooking in a large skillet. Scramble eggs on low heat so they take longer to cook and won’t burn as fast while you watch the meat and the rice.

Slice up your green onions. 

Cook the frozen peas and carrots. I used a microwave steam bag, so it was fast and did not require straining.

I mixed this up in the Tupperware Mega Bowl.  My mom got this for me, and it has been amazing at mixing everything!! It’s called THATSA® MEGA BOWL; we have used it for everything. 

Place the cooked rice in a large bowl and combine it with the green onions, eggs, and vegetables.

Pour in some soy sauce to taste.

Serve!
