Notes
Note 1 – Day old rice works beautifully in this recipe. If you are using freshly cooked rice, follow the above recipe but add the rice last to stop it from overcooking.
Note 2 – Cook the perfect fried egg using low-medium heat and place the lid on your pan in the last 2 minutes of cooking. It helps the top cook through!
MAKE AHEAD AND LEFTOVERS – Pork with Garlic rice can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave. Not suitable to freeze.
