Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ pound pork tenderloin cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ diced white onion
- 1 cup thawed frozen peas and carrots
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 lightly beaten eggs
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce more or less to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the 3 tablespoons sesame oil, ¾ pound pork tenderloin, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
- Add the remaining sesame oil to the same wok along with ½ diced white onion and 1 cup thawed frozen peas and carrots and cook over medium heat until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Slide the vegetables to the side, and pour 2 lightly beaten eggs onto the other side of the skillet. Use a spatula to scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.
- Add 3 cups cooked rice to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce on top. Stir the rice and veggie mixture until warmed through and combined.
- Add the cooked pork back to the rice and veggie mixture and stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes, until heated through and combined.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions and serve immediately.
