Pork Fried Rice in Cast Iron

Submitted by BodyFiiTs CookingLe

"Hardy and Delicious!!! I use my leftover pork chops and my old seasoned cast iron skillet. Using it in a super hot oven gives food that pan seared flavor without all that extra fat to fry it in! Hardy enough to serve as a main dish. My husband loves it!!!"
