Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup pork thinly sliced
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 cup carrot diced
- 1 cup onion diced
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice preferably chilled day-old rice
- 6 green onions chopped
Instructions
- Mince the garlic and chop your green onions. Dice all vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Place a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil followed by the garlic. Sauté until it’s fragrant and golden, about 20 seconds.
- Toss in your thinly sliced pork pieces and stir-fry until it’s almost cooked through.
- Move everything to one side of the pan, crack the eggs into the open space and scramble them. Then, combine the pork with the scrambled eggs.
- Stir in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well and make sure each piece of pork is coated with the stir-fry sauces.
- Add your prepped vegetables (carrots and onion) and stir-fry for about 1 minute for a crisp crunch, or about 2 minutes for tender veggies.
- Add your leftover rice. Use the back of your spatula to break up the grains. Stir-fry for about 2–3 minutes, add the chopped green onions near the end and mix everything well. Optionally season with white pepper, and then serve immediately. Enjoy!
