Pork Fried Rice

Submitted by Carrie in Indiana

"One of my favorite recipe's to make when I was helping my grandmother with the cooking was fried rice. Over the years, I have developed a variation all my own. I usually make this when I have left over pork roast or ham. I hope you enjoy!"

My family loved this! I added some cabbage (in lieu of peppers) to the scallions to saute and then put in a bag of frozen stir fry veggies. Other than that, I made the recipe as is, and it was a huge hit!

Delicious! I substituted cut up green beens for the peppers and added sliced waterchestnuts. Simple and will make a great lunch the next day!

This is a great way to use leftover pork roast. Next time I might and some sliced mushrooms.

It was good, but I have tasted better. Could have used a little more black pepper and garlic.

Really good. I added onions and threw in some frozen peas. I'll be making this one again.
