Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Heat a wok over medium-high and add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Once shimmering, fry the diced pork for 4–5 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove pork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Add another tbsp of vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in carrots, peas, and green onion; stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until vegetables soften, maintaining high heat for quick cooking.

  3. 3

    Push the vegetables to the side, crack eggs into the empty space, and scramble just until set. Mix everything together.

  4. 4

    Add the cooked rice to the wok; break up clumps and stir well over high heat for 3–4 minutes for even dry, fluffy texture. Return pork to the wok, mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Drizzle soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt over the rice. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until everything is hot and fragrant, then portion onto plates.

  6. 6

    In a small pan, fry remaining eggs sunny-side up using a bit of oil. Top each plate of fried rice with a fried egg and serve immediately.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The star of this dish is the diced pork loin, providing a rich, savory flavor, tender bite, and essential protein. Combined with white rice and the fried egg, it forms the backbone of a classic, satisfying fried rice.
Q. How do I get the ideal rice texture for fried rice?
For fluffy, dry fried rice, break up the cooked rice thoroughly and stir-fry over high heat, ensuring even cooking and minimizing moisture. Avoid using freshly cooked, warm rice—chilled leftover rice yields the best results.
Q. How is heat control important when cooking the pork and vegetables?
Maintaining medium-high heat in the wok allows the pork to develop a flavorful brown crust while keeping it juicy. Quick stir-frying of the vegetables preserves their texture and color without overcooking.
Q. How many calories and how much protein are in a single serving?
Each 350g serving delivers about 690 kcal and 28g of protein, with a protein proportion of 16% and a high carbohydrate ratio for fast post-workout refueling.
Q. What can I do to prevent soggy or mushy fried rice?
Use cold, cooked rice and keep the heat high. Stir-fry quickly and avoid adding too much liquid from seasonings; this helps maintain a distinct grain-by-grain texture and keeps the fried rice from becoming soggy.
