Pork Fried Rice is a huge family favorite in my house! I personally love how easy it is to make and how you can easily pack it full of protein as well. This post brought to you by Hormel Foods, LLC.

I love quick and easy dinners! As a busy mom of three kids, time on a weeknight is in a shortage with soccer practices, Girl Scouts, homework, and the random things that pop up I need quick and easy for dinner! So it is hard to believe I started making this back in 2015. I love to pick up the Hormel Pork Tenderloins when our Safeway has them for $5 with their $5 Friday I love to use the Teriyaki pork tenderloin for our fried rice recipe. Another way to serve this up is to just bake it or warm it up in a frying pan diced up as well.

Pork Fried Rice Ingredients:

How To Make Pork Fried Rice:
Start cooking up your rice either on the stovetop or in a rice cooker.
You can mix in some garlic or broth to give your rice more flavor just be careful with adding into much salt cause adding 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.

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 ready add in the pork tenderloin and cook until done.
Scramble up your eggs in a bowl and start to cook in a pan. I do mine on a low heat so they take longer to cook, but they also won’t burn as fast while you watch the meat and the rice.
Slice up your green onions.
Cook up the peas and carrots, I did a microwave steam bag so it was fast.
Once all the ingredients are done, vegetables are strained if needed, you are ready to start to mix your ingredients.
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 and we have used it for everything. You can head over -> here to shop, I earn nothing from this it’s just a rep I love that we got the bowl from.
Place your rice in a large bowl and start to add in meat, green onions, eggs, and vegetable, and start to mix.
Pour in some soy sauce and mix it well and keep adding till you get the desired taste of your rice.
Serve!

It sounds so easy to make. My daughter loves pork fried rice, but I’ve never made it at home. Crazy, right?
Kim Croisant says
That does look easy to make, even I can do it…..the non cook I am!!! A healthy alternative too! We eat pork every now and then – I’ll have to tell hubby about it since he’s the cook.
mary says
This looks delicious! I am always looking for quick meals with a lot of flavor. We have eaten Hormel hams for years but I have never gotten the pork. Time to try it out!

I’ve never made pork fried rice before but have had it and it’s really delicious. Your recipe makes it super simple to make, so I shall be pinning this for me to make next time we have a Chinese night and want some fried rice. I’ve not seen the marinaded pork but it will be easy enough to marinade my own.
Megan says
I always forget that we can make Chinese food at home and save some $$ on ordering out!
