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
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the brown rice ahead of time or use leftover rice to start with 3 cups of cooked rice.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Stir in the cooked brown rice, peas, and cooked pork. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Add the low sodium soy sauce and chicken broth. Stir the mixture thoroughly, making sure the liquid evenly coats the rice.
Step 7
Add the scrambled eggs back to the skillet, along with the green onions. Stir to distribute evenly.
Step 8
Continue cooking the fried rice for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your low sodium pork fried rice!
