Pork Fried Rice

    Nothing makes me happier than some good fried rice. It's really my comfort food, which may sound weird coming from a Midwest girl. The pork probably sold me on it.
     After coming across this dish, I make it regularly, and my dog loves when I make this dish, because she gets the leftover carrots.

Ingredients
     1 boneless pork loin chop, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
     1/4 cup chopped carrot
     1/4 cup of fresh broccoli
     1/4 cup of frozen peas
     1 green onion
     1 tbs of butter
     1 egg lightly beaten
     1 cup of cold cooked long grain rice
     4 1/2 tsp of reduced sodium soy sauce
     1/8 tsp of garlic powder
     1/8 tsp of ground ginger.


Directions
     In a large skillet, saute the pork, carrot, broccoli, peas and onion in butter.
     Once pork is no longer pink, remove entire mixture from skillet and set aside.
     In the same skillet, stir egg over medium heat, until completely set.
     Stir in rice, soy sauce, spices and pork mixture.
     Heat thoroughly.

Susie loves waiting for carrot scraps.



Changes I Made!
    If you know me, the first thing you probably know I changed is removing the peas.
    I also upped the amount of green onion and had no problems.
