Breaking Out The Wok!

I dont know when the last time I used my wok was but I was happy to break it out again for tonights dinner.  Tonight I made Pork Fried Rice - it was so good.  The kids loved it too!  Sweet Girl even said it smelled better than a Chinese restaurant. Heres the recipe (adapted from Southern Living). Also, you don't need a wok any pan will do.

Pork Fried Rice

Ingredients:

1lb boneless pork chops, sliced

1/2 tsp of pepper

1 Tbsp sesame oil, divided

3/4 shredded or diced carrots

1/2 cup chopped onion

3 green onions, chopped

1 Tbsp butter

2 lg eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups cooked rice, I used Jasmine rice

1/2  cup frozen peas, thawed

1/4 cup soy sauce

Season pork with pepper and cook in1 1/2 tsp sesame oil over medium heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from skillet.

Heat remaining 1 1/2 tsp oil in skillet and cook the carrots and onions until soft, about 3 minutes.  Add the green onions and cook for 1 more minute.  Remove from pan and wipe clean.

Add the butter to pan and melt.  Add eggs to skillet and cook, without stirring, 1 minute.  Gently draw eggs away from sides of pan to form large pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 1 minute or until thickened.  Add rice, pork , carrots and onions back to pan and cooked until heated through.  Stir in soy sauce and Enjoy!!
