Smoked Pulled Pork is great on a sandwich, tacos, or eaten straight after coming off the smoker. But for leftovers you may be looking for a new idea.
Fried Rice, Why Not ?
Why not Pulled Pork Fried Rice? The smokiness from the pork pairs great with the wok hei or breath of the wok – the flavor imparted by the hot wok during cooking.
In the video for this recipe, I cooked the fried rice in a wok on the Kamado Joe but it can be done on the stove in a saute pan or flat bottom wok for the stove.
The same cooking principles apply, hot pan add the oil and let it heat up. This will help to avoid ingredients from sticking especially the egg and rice.
Great Dish to Use Leftovers!
This is a quick dish if you have leftover rice and leftover pulled pork and some random vegetables. Mix and match the meats as well. Leftover chicken?
No problem, shred it up and just replace the pork in the recipe. You can make the sauce ahead and have it ready in the refrigerator for a quick Asian stir fry as well.
Add Some Spice to Your Life
You want to spice it up? Add some Sambal Chili Paste or Sriracha at the end of the cooking process to give it a good kick.
Smoked Pulled Pork Fried Rice
Print RecipeRecipe Multiplier
- 1 cup Smoked Pulled Pork (leftover or fresh cooked)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 ea Whole Eggs
- ⅓ cup Carrots julienne
- 3 cup Cooked White or Brown Rice
- ¼ cup Scallions chopped
- 4 oz Kung Pao Sauce (click for recipe)
- 2 dash Ground White Pepper
Instructions
- In a wok or nonstick saute pan, over a medium high heat, coat the vegetable oil and coat the pan.
- When oil is hot, add the shredded pork and toss to dry the meat for a couple of minutes. This will heat the meat and give some crispiness to the pork.
- Add the whipped eggs and move around to cook the eggs and coat the meat.
- Add the shredded carrots to the pan. Saute the carrots for a minute.
- Add the cooked rice to the pan. Rice cooked the day before and cooled and dried in the refrigerator works best for fried rice. If you are using fresh made rice, you should ensure the rice is cooked evenly and not too wet.
- In the pan break apart the rice over medium high heat to dry out the rice.
- Add the Sauce and toss the fried rice in the pan to coat the rice and ingredients.
- Once the rice is heated and the sauce is absorbed. Add the scallions.
- Add the two dashes of white pepper at the end and toss to combine.
- Rice is ready to plate.
