Sweet Chilli Pork Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 500 g pork chops (trimmed and diced)
• 2 garlic (minced)
• 1 red pepper (diced)
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 cup cooked rice (chilled)
• 3 eggs (lightly beaten)
• 0.25 cup sweet chilli sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar (can substitute with lime juice)
• 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
• spring onions (for topping)
• sesame seeds (for topping)
• fresh coriander (for topping)
• lime (for a squeeze of juice on top)

Steps

1. 1

   Whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar (or lime juice), and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat.

3. 3

   Add the diced pork to the hot pan and cook until golden and caramelised, about 4 to 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the cooked pork from the pan and set it aside.

5. 5

   Add the diced red pepper, frozen peas, and minced garlic to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour in the lightly beaten eggs.

7. 7

   Scramble the eggs until they are just cooked.

8. 8

   Add the chilled rice, the cooked pork, and the prepared sauce to the pan.

9. 9

   Stir-fry everything together until the ingredients are heated through and evenly coated in the sauce.

10. 10

    Serve immediately, topped with sliced spring onions, sesame seeds, fresh coriander, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

Using chilled rice is essential for fried rice to prevent it from becoming mushy. If you don't have rice vinegar, lime juice works as a great acidic substitute in the sauce.
