I’ve done a previous version of this dish, using slightly different ingredients, here if you want some added inspiration.
Ingredients:
- Pork, into big cubes
- Fat and oils from cooking the pork (if you don’t have this just use oil of your preference)
- Carrots, cubed
- Spring onions sliced with the greens reserved for garnish
- Mushrooms, sliced
- Red chilli flakes, onion granules, Chinese five spice
- Soy sauce
- Eggs
- Rice, either a sachet or your own pre-cooked and cooled for several hours
Method:
- Heat your fat/oils up in a frying pan
- Add in the carrots, spring onions and mushrooms and allow to cook for a couple of minutes
- Add in the rice and mix everything together
- Add the chilli flakes, onion granules, Chinese five spice, soy sauce and a dash more fat/oil here and mix everything well. Allow this to cook for another few minutes
- Make a well in the middle of the pan and crack in a couple of eggs before stirring well to get everything really incorporated. Continue to leave this for a couple of minutes
- Add in the pork and allow to heat through
- Serve with a sprinkling of those reserved spring onion greens
Eating And Storage Tips
This is one of those really versatile recipes and if you don’t have or eat pork but have chicken or beef leftover then you could easily swap that in as well.
I use a sachet of jasmine rice for this one, as I didn’t pre-cook and let and rice cool down for a fair while before hand, but you could make it a bit healthier and with more fibre if you wanted to use brown rice instead.
If you have a bit more time to do prep, or have some of those lazy style jars, you could add some ginger and garlic to this and perhaps swap out the chilli flakes for a fresh chilli.
I made enough for two portions and allowed it to cool before placing it into a sealed container in the fridge and ate this cold the following day for lunch. I thought about risking reheating it but as mentioned before I’m very reluctant to reheat already reheated rice especially when there’s egg involved but if you’re braver than I then at your stomachs peril.
