Ingredients
Rice
- 2 cups jasmine rice (1-day old cooked is best)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Fillings
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

- 1 lb Chinese BBQ pork Char Siu, (See Note 1)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 green onions chopped
- 2 eggs scrambled
Instructions
- Cook your jasmine rice per your favorite method. See mine here. You should have 4 cups cooked rice. Allow to cool and make break up any clumps. I typically spread on a baking sheet to cool and fluff with fork to break up any clumps. ***Making this 1 day ahead is great, day old rice works best in fried rice recipes.
- In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, rice vinegar, salt, white pepper and Chinese Five Spice. Set aside.
- In a small skillet with a drop or two of oil add the beaten eggs and cook until scrambled and broken up using side of spoon. Set aside.
- Heat wok over medium heat, add tablespoon vegetable oil and stir fry the onions until translucent. Next stir in the roast pork or ham and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the room temperature rice and mix well.
- Add the sauce mixture and mix using spoons, scooping and stirring until the rice is evenly coated with sauce and is fragrant.
- Add the peas, green onions and scrambled eggs. Mix thoroughly for another minute or two and season to taste. Serve hot.
