Healthy Pork Fried RiceOver the years, I have made many different versions of fried rice. Because this recipe is super versatile! You probably have most of the ingredients in the fridge already, making a fried rice is a great way to clear out the fridge.

Ingredients:

To make the fried rice, I used: pork, egg, carrot, red pepper, broccoli, onion and leftover rice. You can use other types of protein or veggies that’s available, no need to make a trip to the grocery store! 

Pork Fried RiceFor seasonings, all this dish requires are salt, pepper and soy sauce. Real simple! We want just enough seasoning but not overpowering, so the natural flavors of the ingredients could shine through. 

   Besides easy to prepare, being budget friendly is certainly another bonus. To create a filling and satisfying meal for your whole family, it usually costs less than ten dollars.

My favorite way of enjoying the pork fried rice is with a bowl of miso soup and a small plate of pickled vegetable as sides. In our house, home-cooked fried rice always beats take-out.
