Cumin Red Cooked Pork Fried Rice (孜然紅燒肉炒飯, Zi1 Jin4 Hung4 Siu1 Juk6 Caau2 Faan6)

Here’s a recipe that uses leftover Cumin Red Cooked Pork and rice. Since pork belly is used to make bacon, stir frying the pork releases oil as it is cooked, and that oil is used to stir fry all the ingredients. The dish may not be the healthiest, but it is tasty.

Enjoy!

Instructions

1. The recipe for the Red Cooked Pork can be found here. Cut the red cooked pork into thin pieces.
2. Take the eggs and the leftover cooked rice out of the refrigerator at least one hour before cooking. Break up any clumps of rice, ideally you want to have each rice grain separated, and add ½ tsp. (2.5 ml.) ground white pepper.
3. Wash and cut the green onions into ¼-inch (7.5 mm.) pieces.
4. Heat the wok over high heat before adding the cumin red cooked pork. No need to add any oil since the pork will do so as it is cooked. Stir fry the pork to brown the surfaces and then set aside in a bowl.
5. Reheat the wok over high heat using the oil released from the pork and then add the eggs. Scramble the eggs in the wok and then set aside in the bowl with the pork.
6. Reheat the wok over high heat using the oil released from the pork (add more oil if necessary) and the cooked rice. Stir fry the rice, breaking up any remaining clumps, and then add the green onions and the contents of the bowl containing the pork to the wok. Stir fry the ingredients together before adding the oyster sauce and sesame oil, and mix the ingredients together. Put the cooked ingredients into a serving dish and serve immediately.
