Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Brown rice, cooked
- 8 ounces Pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Prepare the brown rice ahead of time or use leftover rice to start with 3 cups of cooked rice.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the pork.
Add the remaining sesame oil to the skillet. Sauté the garlic, ginger, carrot, and red bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the cooked brown rice, peas, and cooked pork. Mix well to combine.
Add the low sodium soy sauce and chicken broth. Stir the mixture thoroughly, making sure the liquid evenly coats the rice.
Add the scrambled eggs back to the skillet, along with the green onions. Stir to distribute evenly.
Continue cooking the fried rice for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your low sodium pork fried rice!
