Pork fried rice

This is another of Ed's recipes, all I did was take pictures. Well, "recipes". This was his second attempt to make fried rice, and I'd say it was better than the first attempt, although I didn't have any of the first attempt, I just cleaned the pan... This version was good, it tasted really similar to the gut-bomb I can get at the Ding-Ho Fast Food place on the corner of Kneeland and Harrison, except in a less gut-bomby way. I love the Ding Ho. $2 buys you a styrofoam box PACKED with unidentifiable meat/veggies and either fried rice or fried noodles. Probably not very good for you, come to think of it...

Ed might have used a recipe, but that would have been unlike him, so here is what went into this pile of fried deliciousness.

Pork Fried Rice
1C white rice, cooked - we used sushi rice, because we have a 20-lb bag of sushi rice, so there is no point to buying more rice of a different type.
~1tbs vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
~4oz pork
2 tsp sugar
Soy sauce to taste (~1/4C?)
2 scallions

Dice the garlic, and chop the onion so that it ends up in thin strips, rather than diced. Chop the pork into little 1/4" squares. Put the oil in the wok, and cook the pork until its almost cooked. Add the onion and garlic, and keep cooking things until the onion is sweated and the pork is cooked through.


Push the pork and onions to the side of the wok, you don't want them to mix with the eggs. Add the eggs and stir vigorously, to get them to scramble.


More vigorous scrambling.

Once the eggs are cooked, mix them with the pork and onions. Sprinkle in the 2 teaspoons of sugar and mix it around. Then add the rice. The idea is that you don't want to crush the rice grains, so sort of fold it in.


Once the rice is mixed into the mixture, add the soy sauce. Everything is all cooked, so you can just keep tasting it until you think you have enough soy sauce. More is better.


Once its all mixed together, you could keep frying the rice longer if you wanted, but we just served it then because we were hungry. Mix in the scallions once you're done cooking it. The fried rice was good. We'll definitely be making this again...
