Instructions

Rice

  • Put the rice and water in a medium sized pot.

  • After 12 minutes remove the pot from the heat and let sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.

Pork Fried Rice

  • Heat a wok on high heat for 2-4 minutes or until very hot.
  • Add the oils and the pork.
  • Let the pork sit, undisturbed in the wok for about 2 minutes to allow it to sear on the bottom.
  • Flip the pork piece and let sit for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic into the wok and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked rice and soy sauce in, stir-fry for 1 minute and then add the peas.
  • Make a well in the center of the rice and break the egg into it.
  • Let the egg sit for 30 second before mixing into the rest of the rice.
  • Add the green onion and sambal.
  • Season to taste.

Notes

Make sure to scrape the bottom to the wok. You will get some stuck bits that add a really nice flavour and a bit of crunch to the fried rice.
