Pork Fried Rice

This was a great recipe, especially for the pork. I add more pork and modify a few of the vegetables in the original which I found to be overkill. It does take a while to prepare with all the chopping. I also leave out the sesame oil.

Original recipe from Guy: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guy-fieri/bbq-pork-fried-rice-recipe/index.html

Serves: 4

Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:

For the pork:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin
1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce

For the rice:
4 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
3/4 cup thinly sliced snap peas
1 cup peeled, diced carrot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 cups short-grain white rice, cooked and cooled
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

Pork: In medium bowl, add soy and oyster sauce, ginger and garlic. Add pork and let marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Heat grill to medium-high, and grill pork on both sides until done. Heat remaining marinade to 165 degrees F and use to baste meat as it cooks. When meat is almost cooked through, glaze both sides with sweet and sour sauce and let finish cooking while sauce caramelizes on meat. Remove from grill, allow to stand for 10 minutes, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

Rice: While pork is standing, heat oil in wok or large skillet on high heat until oil almost begins to smoke. Add ginger, as well as all vegetables except garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked, then add garlic. Before garlic browns, add rice and mix rapidly so rice does not stick to sides of wok or pan.

Once entire mixture is thoroughly combined, pour beaten eggs over rice and vegetables, and toss again rapidly until all egg is cooked. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Mix thoroughly and then add pork.

Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
