Sorry it's been a while since I have written. Have been doing a lot of cooking, but have kind of been busy. You know how summer is. Well, the other night I made a stir fry and some fried rice that was pretty outstanding. It's fairly simple and has a ton of flavor. You know how I am about flavor. Gotta have it. So here it is.
I started with about 4 pork loin chops. What I do is going to the store and buy a huge pork loin when it's on sale and have it cut into inch thick chops.
Then I made my seasoning. 1 Cup of brown sugar, enough soy to make it the consistency of VERY think ketchup, 2 T vinegar, 1 clove of garlic minced pepper and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. I mix it all together and let it sit for about 20 min. While that is sitting, I start to cut up my pork into bite size pieces. I put the pork in a stir fry skillet, stir my sauce and pour the sauce over the pork and let it sit. While it's sitting, I cut up 1 onion, 1 green pepper and slice some mushrooms into bite size pieces. Once it's cut up, I start cooking the pork. I don't have a time for how long I cook it. I just take on of the pieces of meat and cut it open an check it after about 5 min. Since the pieces are so small it doesn't take much time to cook. Once it's cooked, I turn the burner down to med. and add the vegetables and a can of chunk pineapple (drained). I keep cooking until the vegetables are to my liking in doneness. I serve it over rice and with an eggroll.
For the Fried rice, I just cooked my rice (2 Cups worth). Then put it in a pan with a little oil, added some peas and carrots (that were frozen and then thawed) and 3 T of soy and 3 eggs (beaten). Just kept mixing it until the eggs were cooked. NOW, I will tell you this made the rice bind more than anything. If I were to do it again, I think I would cook the egg first in a small pan and then add it to the rice. You really couldn't tell there was egg even in it. I might back it off to 2 eggs if I pre cook them. It's up to you really. My son LOVES eggs, so it's a good way for me to get him to eat the rice. Well, enjoy my friend.
Kathy!
