Pork Fried Rice

Ingredients:

2 Cups Short Grain Brown Rice
3 Cups Water
2 Tsp Salt

10 Oz (.3 kg) Country Style Pork Spare Ribs
1 TBSP Hoisen Sauce
2 Tsp Honey
1/8 Tsp - 5 Spice Powder
Pinch Cayenne Pepper
1/2 Tsp Salt

Vegetable Oil for frying
3 Eggs
1/4 Tsp Salt

1 TBSP toasted Sesame Oil

1-1/2 Tsp Grated Ginger
2 minced Cloves of Garlic
2 TBSP Soya Sauce
1 Cup frozen Peas, thawed

The recipe calls for "pasta boiled brown rice" which I did.  I will give you the pasta boiled rice instructions although I was not very successful with this method (I kept having to add water over and over and it took 3 times as long as stated) and in future would prepare the pasta according to package instructions and set aside to use.

Also, my grocery stores did not have short grain brown rice so I used long grain brown rice.  I would have preferred the short grain in this recipe.

Tastewise = Delicious

Instructions:

Pasta boil brown rice for 35 minutes (3 Cups of Water to 2 Cups of Rice).  Boil the water, add the rice plus 2 Tsp Salt.  Bring to a boil once again and simmer for 35 minutes.  Strain rice in a colander and set aside.  (or prepare rice according to package instructions and set aside)

Slice the Port Spare Ribs against the grain.  Cut quite thin.  Combine the Hoisen Sauce, Honey, 5 Spice Powder, Cayenne Pepper, Salt.  Add the cut pork to coat and set aside.

Scramble the Eggs in a bowl with Salt.  Add 1 Tsp Vegetable Oil to a large frying pan.  Add eggs and cook for about 1 minute until scrambled eggs are cooked through.  Set aside in a bowl.

Add 2 Tsp Vegetable Oil to Pan and add Pork to pan in one even layer.  Leave it for about 3 minutes until the underside is nice and brown, then turn and cook for about 3 minutes more on second side.  (My slices were VERY thin so it took only about 3 minutes in total to cook - 1.5 minutes each side).  Look for "browness" of slices more than sticking to the cooking time.  Repeat until all meat in cooked.  Do not over crowd and do not turn meat until the underside in nice and brown.
Put cooked meat into bowl with eggs.

Add 1 TBSP toasted Sesame Oil to pan.  Add sliced Scallion Whites.  Cook until brown.  Add Grated Ginger, and Garlic Cloves.  Add Soya Sauce.  Cook 30 seconds.
Add 1/2 of the Rice and mix well.
Turn down the heat and add the rest of the rice and 1 Cup of thawed Frozen Peas.  Heat through.  The rice is added in two batches for ease of handling.

Add the Scallion Greens and serve.
