Ingredients

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (day-old preferred for optimal texture)

1 cup pork tenderloin, finely cubed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen peas, diced carrots, and corn)

2 large eggs, beaten

3 green onions, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: sesame oil for drizzling

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: If starting with fresh rice, cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions, ensuring it is not overly moist. For the best flavor and texture, it's recommended to use rice that has been cooked and refrigerated overnight. Prepare your other ingredients: chop the pork tenderloin into small cubes, finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the green onions. Set the mixed vegetables aside, and whisk the two eggs in a bowl until well combined.

Cook the Pork: In a large skillet or wok, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed pork and stir-fry until it is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Sauté Aromatics: Using the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are tender and heated through.

Scramble the Eggs: Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet to create space. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side of the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a few moments until they begin to set, then scramble them until fully cooked. Once cooked, mix the scrambled eggs with the vegetable mixture.

Stir in Rice and Sauce: Add the cooled, cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, mixing thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined. Incorporate the cooked pork back into the skillet.

Mix and Season: Stir-fry the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing some parts of the rice to fry slightly for added texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. For an extra layer of flavor, optionally drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over the rice.

Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the chopped green onions. Serve the pork fried rice hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired, and enjoy every savory bite!
