THE BEST PORK FRIED RICE
We were inspired by the Cantonese-style BBQ pork fried rice for its sweet and slightly smoky flavor. The pork strips are marinated in a savory sauce with a hint of honey, with extra sauce for seasoning the whole dish. It's important to cook the components on high heat to get a quick sear and even browning. Tossing the food in the skillet is quicker and more efficient than stirring with a spoon. If you don't know how, this recipe is an excellent one to practice with.

Steps:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin, Shaoxing wine, honey, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl until combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of the soy marinade for the rice.
- Cut the pork into 2-inch strips about 1/4-inch thick and toss in the soy marinade until completely coated. Let sit uncovered at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the marinade penetrate. Drain through a mesh strainer, discard the marinade and return the pork to the bowl.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until the oil shimmers and tiny wisps of smoke are visible. Cook the pork, tossing often, until browned but not charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Cook the onions, tossing often, until translucent and just tender, about 2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the onions to the large bowl.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Cook the snow peas and bean sprouts, tossing often, until bright green but lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the large bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the beaten eggs and stir vigorously for 10 seconds (no, really, 10 seconds). Transfer to the large bowl and break the egg up into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the rice, patting it down into an even layer and breaking up any clumps, and let sit undisturbed for 1 minute to fry. Then vigorously toss, breaking up any clumps, until the grains dry out, separate and start to crisp and lightly brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add the pork, vegetables and egg to the rice and vigorously toss (or stir) until completely combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed into the rice. Season with the remaining soy marinade if necessary, adding 1 tablespoon at a time and tossing well to combine.
- Top the fried rice with the scallions and basil before serving.

FRIED RICE WITH PORK, BEEF, CHICKEN OR SHRIMP RECIPE
From recipezazz.com
- Rice ... I use my wok to prepare this, but if you don't have one, you need to use a large deep non-stick saute pan. Add a tablespoon of the peanut oil to the pan on HIGH heat. Peanut oil really does make a difference DO NOT use olive oil. Vegetable oil would be my next choice. Add the rice and celery and stir until well coated - cook until you can actually hear the rice 'crackling' a bit. This means the rice is getting a crisp coating which is what you want ... it is FRIED rice by the way. Continue to stir as it cooks. About 3-4 minutes.
- Vegetables and Pork ... Once the rice has cooked, add the rest of your vegetables and a little of the sesame oil - not all of it. If it seems dry, you can add a bit more peanut oil, but NOT much. Continue to cook on high heat and stir often. Cook 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add your protein (pork, chicken or shrimp) and stir well.
- Eggs ... Push the rice mixture to the side of the pan, off the main heat. Add the beaten eggs to the bottom of the pan and cook - just like scrambled eggs, breaking it up as they cook. Once they are cooked through, add the rice mixture back to the eggs.
