Pork Fried Rice


Whenever I make grilled pork chops I always make enough so that the next night I can make pork fried rice. I would never call this dish leftovers though....When you make pork fried rice yourself you can back off the soy sauce and really taste the  other ingredients. The key is not to over cook any of the vegetables. The green onion, yellow onion, bell pepper and peas should be cooked just for a few minutes and retain a bit of crunch. The key to this dish is the toppings; green onion, cilantro and chopped nuts, wow so good!
 
Ingredients: Pork Fried Rice
Pork loin chops, grilled cut into bit size pieces
3 extra large garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 small yellow onion, medium dice
4 green onions, diced
1/3 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup frozen peas
Hand full of fresh chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup white basmati rice, cooked and cooled

Preparation:
Pre-heat a 12" sauté pan. Add the canola oil, garlic, ginger, green onion, yellow onions, bell pepper, peas, cilantro and cook for 2 minutes. Add the pork, sesame oil, soy sauce to the saute pan. Mix in the rice and heat for 3 minutes, salt and pepper to taste. Top with chopped cilantro, diced green onion, crushed nuts, sesame seeds and serve.
