Easy fried rice that can be made with leftovers in your refrigerator. This recipe is budget friendly, and can be made in under 30 minutes.
Hey cousins! Recently I tried to use Door Dash to purchase some groceries, and y’all it was definitely a miss. Many of the items that I requested were out of stock, and a lot of items were wrong. I wanted to make fried pork chops for my family, so I tried to purchase some bone in pork chops. However, instead of bringing my bone in pork chops, the dasher brought me these little lean boneless pork chops. Anyone that knows me, know that I don’t do boneless. However, I’m not in the business of wasting money, or food. So I decided to make some pork chop fried rice!
I figured that I had to get rid of some of the frozen vegetables in my freezer, so what better way than to make some pork fried rice with the boneless pork chops right? Let me tell you how I did it!
Ingredients used for my Pork Chop Fried Rice
Since we’re making fried rice, you’ll need rice of course. The same day that I received the boneless pork chops, I had also made too much rice for a different recipe. Instead of letting it go to waste, I just incorporated it into this recipe. Although this rice was made the day of, I prefer using day old rice when making fried rice dishes. I find that ” next day rice” tends to be a tad bit grainer, and is easier to incorporate with other ingredients when cooking. The rice that I used for this dish was jasmine rice. However, any rice can be used for this recipe. You can use regular white long grain rice, or brown rice. Whatever rice you have on hand, use it!
Other Ingredients used for this recipe:
- Vegetable oil
- Pork Chops
- Pork Seasoning, I use Rosamae Seasonings Pork Seasoning of course!
- Soy Soys
- Peas and Carrots
- Frozen Peppers, Onions, and Celery Mix- I use the Great Value frozen seasoning mix. If you want to use fresh onions, peppers, and celery you certainly can do so.
- Garlic
- Sesame Seed Oil
- Green Onion
Tools needed to make fried rice
For this recipe I used my wok. However, you can use a regular frying pan as well. For stirring, and mixing I like to use my tongs, as well as a spatula. I like to use tongs so that I can grab, and break the pork apart while frying.
What to serve with fried rice
Whenever I make fried rice I usually serve them with egg rolls, and sometimes I’ll make egg foo young. It really just depends on how I’m feeling. You can also serve this fried rice alone.
