Ingredients

  1. 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  2. ½ cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms
  3. 6 cups cooled cooked rice
  4. ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
  5. 1 ½ cups cubed cooked pork
  6. 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  7. 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, finely chopped
  8. 3 stalks celery, diced
  9. ½ small onion, diced
  10. 1 large carrot, diced
  11. ½ red bell pepper, diced
  12. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  13. 3 green onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms until liquid has evaporated, and mushrooms are browned, about 15 minutes. Set mushrooms aside.
  2. Fluff cooked rice with a fork and stir in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to separate the grains. Set aside.
  3. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook and stir pork, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add celery, onion, and carrot. Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and cooked mushrooms just until combined.
  4. Add in cooked rice, lightly tossing until rice is heated through and thoroughly combined with pork and vegetables. Stir in soy sauce, remove from heat, and sprinkle green onions over the top.

Raven Simmons

Kristen Cabrera
it was super good all thought i did change some nd added more soy i added frozen veggies and fresh ginger i didnt add no pork bc i made some Chinese chicken from on this website was a big hit. i did add a egg to it i seasoned it with tsp of white pepper , Onion powered, garlic a tsp of ginger. Do not add salt make a spot in the pot and do ur egges on low temp so u dont burn ur rice.
Amber Harris
loved this! Just made it tonight. I added 2 eggs and a pinch of 5 spice powder. Thank you and yummy!
Jonathan Boyd
Great recipe, I used chicken instead of pork (not a pork eater) and added eggs which is a staple in fried rice. Absolutely loved it…
Bradley Sullivan
Great recipe! I did have leftover pork chops and fresh veggies that needed to be used up. Prep time was a bit longer, so I admit the canned veggies would speed things up! I did add bouillon in the water to flavor the rice. I agree with one reply to buy fresh ginger! I loved the sporadic bite of ginger, and topping off with fresh green onions! I will keep this recipe for other leftovers! thank you!
Monica Woods
Good Stuff! Easy to make, and add whatever you want! I used lower sodium soy sauce and it was still great.
Walter Norman
I love this one because it is SO easy–not so many complicated steps. As mentioned by other reviewers, I made some substitutions in the veggies. Didn’t have any fresh ginger on hand, so I used a few dashes of ground ginger–worked great. I did add a little extra soy sauce after I dished it up. Picky hubby ate every bite!
Erin Thomas
good recipe for a quick meal
Jorge Gill
Super easy. Used up my pork chops and a bunch of leftover produce. I added fresh green beans. Made for lunch for my kids during virtual school
Paul Morton
Was very good!! I added more pork than I should have . And also added more soy sauce .
Paul Adams
Not bad. I added a little 5-spice powder.
David Allen
You got great recipes, Love coming here!
Timothy Nielsen
Added tablespoon crushed red peppers! Was awesome!
Gregory Bennett
It taste really authentic. The only thing that I did not do was put pepper in it. I put peas in it instead.
Raymond Pierce
I’ve made this several times. I also add some sizzling siagon sauce when I add the soy sauce. Adds a little spice. I do skip the mushrooms.
Stephen Smith
Great recipe! Try using a little smoked sesame oil with your vegetable oil to give more Asian taste.
Jasmin Yates
Fast and delicious! The only thing I lacked was the mushrooms. Since I often cook pork lion roast, this recipe works perfectly for leftovers.
Joseph Gaines
This was the best pork fried rice recipe! One thing I noted, six cups of rice seems like way too much for six servings. I made the recipe as written except cut the rice down to 3 cups. That was the perfect amount of rice to vegetables and meat. I also added a spoonful of hoisin sauce per another reviewer’s recommendation. The vegetables to meat proportion was perfect – except, feel free to increase the amount of mushrooms! I think I’ll double them next time.
Maria Johnson
This has become our favorite way to use our leftover pork tenderloin after grilling one. Like mentioned before, the ginger is a key ingredient in my opinion.
Mark Williams
No need for all that oil and could use a bit more soy and/or fish sauce. Otherwise, cleaned the fridge with leftover pork loin and rice no one seemed interested in eating in its original form. Voila! We gobbled it up with my lesser-oil version. I’ll definitely make it again.
