Pork Fried Rice

Prep Tip: Use 1/3 of your pork loin for this recipe. When you thaw the frozen pork loin, cook the pork for this recipe. If you won't be eating it for a few days, refreeze it cooked.

Prepare the Pork:

• Slice your pork loin into thin strips.

• Velvet your 1/3 sliced pork loin with 1/2 tsp baking soda. Mix together and let sit for 15 - 20 mins max. Rinse thoroughly. Pat dry. This gives it the restaurant Chinese food texture. 

• Season pork with soya sauce, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper and optional 1 tsp cornstarch (for coating pork before cooking).

• Optional: Let cool then freeze.

Fried Rice:

• 1 tbsp oil in large skillet

• Cook half a diced onion

• Add 1.5 to 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

• Optional: Push veggies to the side and scramble an egg in the pan (if you have eggs as not included in Budget Meal Plan)

• Add 2-3 cups cooked rice (day old is best but fresh works too)

• Mix and cook a few mins

• Add seasoning: Soya sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder. Add a bit of any sweetener you have such as 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar or white sugar. 

• Optional: Add Sriracha
