Quick and easy pork fried rice
By dinner a love story.com
This is just as delicious with chicken, shrimp, or no meat at all. You can also throw in shredded carrots, peppers, pre-cooked broccoli, or whatever vegetable you have lying around.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if necessary
few drops of sesame oil (optional)
1-pound pork tenderloin, cut into bitesize pieces (see photo), preferably room temperature
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
6-8 scallions, chopped (white and light green parts only) plus more for garnish (optional)
handful frozen peas or sugar snap peas (or both)
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (I use Trader Joe’s frozen rice — such a lifesaver!)
2 eggs, whisked
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

If you have a wok, set it over medium-high heat and add oils. (I have a wok, but it’s buried behind 18 boxes in my basement so I usually just end up using my largest skillet.) Add pork and cook 5-6 minutes until cooked through. Remove to a dish.
Turn down heat to medium, add a little more vegetable oil if the pan is dry, and add garlic, ginger, and scallions. Cook about 1 minute. Mix in rice and peas and turn heat up a bit. Let the rice sizzle and get crispy, about 2 minutes. Push to the side and add eggs, breaking them up and working into the rice mixture as you go.
Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cooked pork. Toss together and serve garnished with more scallions and sesame seeds if you have them.
