Pork-Fried Dirty Rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 lightly packed cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 1/2 cups day old Right Rice, recipe follows
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups Carolina rice
- Water, for rinsing and cooking
- In a large nonstick saute pan or wok, heat the oil over high heat.
- When the oil begins to swirl, add the ground pork, salt and ginger.
- Break the pork up with a spoon and stir while browning.
- When the pork is cooked through and golden, add the garlic, scallions, bean sprouts and peas.
- Stir and cook for a minute or so more, then push it to the side and add a bit more oil, if needed.
- Add the rice and quickly stir to heat and toast the rice.
- Once a crust has formed on some of the rice, add the soy sauce and chili sauce.
- Season with more salt, if needed.
- Incorporate the rice with the rest of the ingredients in the pan.
- Once combined, push to the sides and add the eggs to the center, allowing the eggs to curdle lightly.
- Rapidly stir the rice in to coat while the eggs are cooking.
- The eggs act as glue instead of being left as big curds separated from the rice.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately
- Rinse the rice 3 times to remove the starch.
- Put the rice in a medium saucepan.
- Fill the saucepan with enough water to cover the rice by 1/2-inch.
- Or measure by putting your thumb tip on the rice and filling the pot with water until the water reaches the middle of your thumbnail.
- Bring the rice to a simmer over low heat, then cover and cook until tender and liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the rice stand another 5 minutes, covered.
