Pork Fried Rice is tasty and easy to make! Marinated strips of pork stir fried with mixed vegetables, eggs, garlic, rice, soy sauce and more!

This is how we like to make pork fried rice at home. It's a lot healthier in my opinion than restaurant style pork fried rice as they use a lot more oil.

Some restaurant style Pork fried rice will also use char siu, which is a Cantonese-style barbecued pork that is red in color. If you have leftover char ciu, you can definitely use that instead but I will be showing you how to make regular pork fried rice from scratch.

How to cook Pork Fried Rice

First gather your ingredients:

• Pork Marinade
  • 1 lb pork, cut in to 1 inch strips
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
• Fried Rice
  • 3 tablespoon cooking oil, separated
  • 5 crushed garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed veggies (corn, peas, carrots, etc.)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups of cooked rice
  • Chopped bacon (optional)
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (optional)

Marinade pork with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and sugar for at least 30 minutes covered in refrigerator (up to over night).

In a large nonstick pan or wok, add 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and stir fry until mostly browned, then remove from heat and set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon cooking oil in the pan, along with garlic, and frozen mixed veggies in to wok or cooking pan, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally.

With a spatula, move vegetables to one side of the skillet, if the pan is dry go ahead and add a little more oil. Then add the beaten eggs to the other side, and stir it to scramble. I actually usually just crack the eggs in to the pan and then scramble to skip beating the eggs resulting in an extra bowl to wash 🙂

Add another tablespoon of cooking oil, and then the cooked rice and stir to mix well.

Add pork and chopped bacon (optional) in to cooking pan, along with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, pepper, and salt to taste, and stir fry everything to blend together. Cook for about 3 more minutes or until well mixed and pork is cooked thoroughly.

Sprinkle chopped green onions on top (optional), remove from heat and serve!
