Okay, so if you’ve been reading my recipes for any time now, you will know that I love Easy Weeknight Stir Fry Recipes. They tick all the boxes that I love and everyone in the house devours them every single time. Usually, you can cook them in one pan which is also a big bonus for clean up time. And although this dish technically isn’t a stir fry, it’s close enough! Take a look below and see if you’d like to try it out for your family soon.

What Is This Fried Rice Dish Like

• Difficulty – If you’re looking for a straight forward weeknight dinner, make this. It’s pretty easy and from start to finish it’s done in about 40 minutes. The prep work can even be done before hand.
• Taste – This dish has a great flavour from the sesame oil, soy sauce and all the vegetables that are cooked down until soft. The pork tenderloin adds a nice touch as well.
• Serving – This will serve between 4 – 6 people depending on how much each person would like. Keep in mind, you can easily adjust the servings in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloin – I used a 1 lb pork tenderloin for this recipe. I simply cut it into small cubes. It worked perfect.
• Salt – Just use a little regular table salt to season the pork before cooking. This will enhance the flavour.
• Sesame oil – You should be able to find this in most supermarkets. It’s often in the oil section but it might also be found in the section that sells Asian inspired foods and sauces. It has a nutty flavour and is great in stir fry recipes.
• Garlic – I used fresh minced garlic for an additional punch of flavour.
• Vegetables – I went with carrots, celery and white onion. I diced them all really small which made for the perfect bite.
• Eggs – Lightly whisked eggs cooked into fried rice adds flavour, extra protein and bulks it up even more for a main course.
• Rice – I went with long grain cooked Basmati rice. It worked great for this dish but any long grain rice will work well.
• Peas – Frozen green peas work great. Just make sure they are thawed before adding to the rice.
• Soy sauce – And lastly, this dish is finished off by adding any brand of soy sauce for a great flavour. Feel free to add more than the recipe suggests if you like.

NOTE, The full recipe and ingredient list can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Cook the pork – Set a large wok over high heat and add one tablespoon of the sesame oil. Season the cubed pork with the salt and add to the wok. Toss really well and cook until the pork is golden and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
2. Cook the vegetables – In the same wok, set over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil and garlic. Give a good stir for about 30 seconds. Add the carrots, celery and onions. Toss really well and cook until soft, about 5 – 8 minutes.
3. Add eggs to the wok – Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and pour in the whisked eggs on the other side. Using a spatula, start stirring the eggs until they are almost cooked. Then incorporate the eggs into the cooked vegetables.
4. Finish the fried rice – Add the cooked rice, green peas, cooked pork and soy sauce to the wok. Increase heat to high and stir really well until all the flavours have completely incorporated.
5. Serve – Remove from heat and serve hot with extra soy sauce, teriyaki sauce of chilli sauce.
