Pork Fried Rice Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 servings of cooked white rice (cooled completely...making this the night before is best)

2 cooked, and sliced pork chops

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

1 small can of mushrooms

1/4 cup chopped leek

1 1/2 cups of frozen peas and carrots

1 egg

2-3 Tablespoons of soy sauce

Instructions:

In a hot pan, saute 1/4 cup of chopped leeks,1 small can of mushrooms, and about 1 1/2 cups of frozen peas and carrots in a small amount of oil.  Move the vegetables to the side, once cooked, and scramble the egg in the middle of the pan.  Once the egg has scrambled, add the rice and sliced pork chops and saute until heated through and rice starts to brown a little bit.  Add the soy sauce and mix until incorporated.  Serve with chopsticks!
