Homemade Pork Fried Rice
Description
Chinese takeout has nothing on this easy homemade fried rice with flavorful, marinated, baked pork tenderloin at its center.
Ingredients
•
1 (12 ounce) pork tenderloin, cut into small cubes
•
2 tablespoons soy sauce
•
1 tablespoon dry red wine (such as Merlot)
•
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
•
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
2 1/2 cups cooked rice
•
1/2 cup chopped onion
•
1 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
•
1 cup bean sprouts
•
3 tablespoons soy sauce
•
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Directions
1
Combine pork, soy sauce, red wine, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and garlic in resealable zip-top bag. Seal and squish the bag to make sure marinade is evenly dispersed over the meat. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate overnight for best results.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drain marinade into a cup and reserve. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet.
3
Bake in the preheated oven, turning and basting with the marinade frequently, until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
4
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium to medium-high heat. Pour eggs into the skillet; cook and stir until set but still fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pork, rice, and onion. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to turn translucent, about 6 minutes.
5
Sprinkle peas, bean sprouts, and soy sauce onto the fried rice. Stir to incorporate and cook, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add green onions and mix to combine. Serve immediately.
