Pork Fried Rice

Pork Fried Rice
ready to be served!

We enjoy eating Pork Fried Rice.  In the past it was a side dish whenever we were in the mood while ordering from our fave Chinese restaurant.  Well, not anymore. It comes together so quickly when you have the ingredients on hand.

Either baked in the oven or grilled, we also enjoy Pork Tenderloin!  There are always a few slices left in the serving dish after dinner.  If there is one thing that I learned at the start of the pandemic it was-  a small amount of any food can be incorporated into another delicious dish on another evening.  This is the case with those extra slices of baked/ grilled Pork Tenderloin.

Rice is another ingredient in this dish, so whenever I make this dish, I start the Rice first.  I always make my whole recipe and later freeze the extra cooled Rice not needed at the time in a labelled/ dated freezer bag.  It's placed in my freezer ready to use in the future.  Click here for Rice Recipe
