15-Minute Pork Fried Rice
Report
A super fast and easy way to make pork fried rice and get dinner on the table quickly. This fried rice dish is super bold and rich. It hits all the right notes with great flavors and textures and tastes better than takeout. {Gluten-Free adaptable}To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten free oyster sauce. And use tamari to replace the soy sauce.

Ingredients
- 2 to 3 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil) (*Footnote 1)
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce , divided
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce + 1/2 dark soy sauce) (*Footnote 2)
- 3 green onions , chopped
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 3 eggs , beaten
- 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
- 3 cups leftover steamed rice
- salt (to taste)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ground pork. Break it apart and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the green onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Stir and cook for 1 minute to mix well.
- Add the rice and turn to medium heat. Cook and stir to mix everything together. 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in a bit more oil if the rice looks dry. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir to mix the sauce with the other ingredients.
- Add the mixed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook until the vegetables defrost, 1 minute or so.
- Move everything to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the other side of the pan. Add the beaten eggs. Let the bottom set for a couple of seconds. Then scramble the eggs and use your spatula to cut them into small pieces. Then mix the eggs with the other ingredients.
- Taste the rice and add salt to adjust the seasoning, if needed, then mix well again. If you like slightly crispy rice, let the rice sit on the hot pan for 20 to 30 seconds without stirring.
- Add the sesame oil and mix everything again. Transfer the fried rice onto serving plates. Serve hot as a main or side dish.
Notes
- You might need to double the oil if you’re using a cast iron or a carbon steel pan.
- Dark soy sauce adds an appetizing dark brown color to the rice and it also adds a light caramel taste. It is totally OK to skip it if you do not have dark soy sauce.
