28 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 12 ounces cooked pork from Orange Sesame Pork or other lean, low-sodium cooked meat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (lowest sodium available)
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (plain rice vinegar preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
  • 2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice (cold preferred)
  • 1/4 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth or water (if using cold rice)

Directions

  1. 1
    Put the peas in a colander to begin thawing.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, stir together the pork, soy sauce, and vinegar.
  3. 3
    In a nonstick wok or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high heat for about 1 minute, or until very hot, swirling to coat the bottom.
  4. 4
    Cook the carrots, onion, and red pepper flakes for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring constantly.
  5. 5
    Stir in the peas and rice.
  6. 6
    If using cold rice, add the broth.
  7. 7
    (Hot, moist rice wont need liquid.)
  8. 8
    Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the rice.
  9. 9
    Stir in the pork mixture.
  10. 10
    Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until all the ingredients are heated through, stirring occasionally.
  11. 11
    Fried rice is best when made with cold rice because the rice grains stay firm and separate.
