Ginger Pork Fried Rice

Ginger Pork Fried Rice



Here is the second recipe in my homemade "Chinese Food" category. I made this on the same day as the egg rolls, so you will notice that the ingredients are very similar.

You Will Need:

6 Cups Prepared White Rice (or maybe brown. I don't use brown.)
10 Large Eggs
Soy Sauce
About 1 Teaspoon Fresh Ginger
Frozen Peas
About 1/4 Bag Organic Broccoli Slaw
3 Boneless Pork Loin Chops
Organic Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing
Powdered Ginger

Directions:

- Cook the rice, if you haven't already. (I use 3 cups of rice and 6 cups of water for about 6 cups.)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the pork on a baking sheet.
- Liberally pour the dressing over the pork.
- Shake the ginger powder on top (also liberally)
- Bake the pork for about 38 minutes.        
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Cut off the fat. Dice the pork into small cubes.
- Put the pork, broccoli slaw, and peas in a bowl or container and toss together.
- Spray a large pan or wok with cooking and baking spray.
- Add all 10 eggs, and whisk them with a fork.
- Add in a splash or two of soy sauce.
- Put all of the other ingredients.
- Grate in the fresh ginger.
- Turn the mixture until all of the rice is coated in the eggs.
- THEN turn the heat on and cook.
- Cook until all of the egg is cooked, turning every 45 seconds or so.
- Enjoy! <3

Egg Rolls

Egg Rolls


I used to live on Chinese food. I absolutely love it. Lately, I have been craving it but never seem to be able to go get any. So of course, I figured out how to make my own. So over the next few days, I will be sharing my recipes with you. This one is, without being vain, awesome! The children all agree that it tastes just like it was ordered from a Chinese restaurant.

You Will Need:

1 Package Egg Roll Wraps (There are about 21 wraps in 1 pack.)
About 4 Boneless Pork Loin Chops
Organic Ginger Sesame Salad Dressing
Bag of Organic Broccoli Slaw
Soy Sauce
Fresh Ginger
Ginger Powder
Peanut Oil

Directions:

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the pork on a baking sheet.
- Liberally pour the dressing over the pork.
- Shake the ginger powder on top (also liberally)
- Bake the pork for about 38 minutes.          
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Cut off the fat. Dice the pork into small cubes. Toss in a Ziplock bag with about 3/4 of the bag of broccoli slaw and some soy sauce.
- Lay the wraps out diagonally, and put a large pinch or two of the filling in the middle. (see picture)
- Fold the bottom of the wrap up then the sides in. Rub a little water on the wrap to make it stick. Then, roll it up until it is all sealed. Again, use a little water.
- Heat peanut oil in frying pan or deep fryer set to 390 degrees.
- Fry the egg rolls, making sure they are frying all the way around.
- When they are a lovely shade of brown, remove them and place on paper towels to drain the oil off.

- Allow to cool for a few minutes. (Even so, be careful after; They can be hot!)
- Enjoy! <3
