Here's a recipe for making pork fried rice on a griddle:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked and cooled white rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 cup cooked and diced pork (e.g., leftover roast pork or pork chops)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Sliced green onions for garnish
- Sesame oil (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Griddle: Preheat your griddle to medium heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Ensure that your rice is cooked and cooled. Day-old rice works best for fried rice as it's less likely to become mushy.
- Dice the cooked pork and set it aside.
- Dice the onions and carrots, and mince the garlic.
-
Stir-Fry Veggies:
- Add the vegetable oil to the hot griddle.
- Toss in the diced onions and carrots, and stir-fry them until they begin to soften, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add Garlic and Peas:
- Add the minced garlic and frozen peas to the griddle, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the peas are heated through and the garlic is fragrant.
-
Push Veggies to the Side:
- Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the griddle to make space for the eggs.
-
Scramble Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side of the griddle and scramble them until they're mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Mix the scrambled eggs into the vegetables, and then stir in the diced pork.
-
Add Rice and Sauces:
- Add the cooled cooked rice to the griddle, breaking it up as you stir it with the other ingredients.
- Drizzle soy sauce and oyster sauce over the rice and stir-fry, ensuring that the sauces are evenly distributed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Fry Rice:
- Continue stir-frying the rice for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's heated through and has absorbed the flavors.
-
Optional Sesame Oil:
- For extra flavor, you can drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the fried rice and stir it in.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish the pork fried rice with sliced green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade pork fried rice cooked on the griddle.
