Classic Pork Fried Rice

Although my family sometimes eat rice, we still fall in love with fried rice. Simple egg fried rice, vegetable fried rice, chicken fried rice, beef fried rice, bacon fried rice, sausage fried rice and pork fried rice are tried by us. This post, however, I’m glad to share classic pork fried rice recommended by a Chinese friend. I’ve made it for lunch and dinner many times, and it still got my family hooked. Yummy!

This classic pork fried rice is loaded with Chinese BBQ pork (Char Siu), cooked Jasmine rice, scrambled eggs, chopped scallions, diced onion, bean sprouts, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce and spices, honey, salt and pepper (to taste). It looks quite impressive but is WAY easier to make than you think. The detailed instructions is given below. All you need to do is to follow them.

If you are a fan of Chinese food or fried rice, you should give this pork fried rice at least once. Ready to serve in just 25 minutes, it’s a great choice for quick-prep lunch and busy weekday’s dinner. It works well with my family, and yours? Let’s check it out!
