Tips & Tricks:
- 🔪 Skip steps with knife if you completed Prep Day!
- 🍚 Rice is best if made ahead and refrigerated. But not a deal breaker if you don't get a chance.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup jasmine, basmati, or brown rice
- 6 oz pork tenderloin or pork chops, cut into thin slices
- 4 eggs
- 1-2 large ribs of celery, thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of frozen peas or green beans
- 2-3 medium carrots, small diced
- 1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped or whole
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1+ tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tsp Rice wine vinegar
Optional Garnish
- cucumber
- lime
Directions:
- 🔪 Veg and Pork Prep (can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Chop pork into 1 inch bite size pieces.
- Thinly slice celery on the bias (example).
- Thinly slice green and white parts of scallions.
- Small dice the carrots.
- 🔪 Rice
- Cook rice according to package instructions. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
- Eggs
- Cook eggs (scramble style) in a hot non-stick pan with a dash of oil or butter. Cut into small pieces and set aside.
- Pork
- In the same pan, add some more oil and cook the pork seasoned with a pinch or two of salt. Let the pork sit for 1-2 minutes before flipping so each side can caramelize.
- Set pork aside once all the pink has cooked away.
- Cook Veg + Final Saute
- In the same pan, add a dash more of oil and saute celery and carrots seasoned with salt, flipping occasionally.
- Once veggies are soft, about 5-7 minutes, add in pork, rice, half the scallions, peas or green beans, eggs, 2 tsp of rice wine vinegar, and 1 tbsp at a time of soy sauce.
- Stir everything together and add more soy sauce if desired. Continue to warm, mostly undisturbed, until rice is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve
- Serve immediately, topped with cilantro, more of the fresh scallions and (optionally) a few cucumber slices and a wedge of lime.
Reheat Options
- Saute in a hot pan with a dash of oil for about 3-5 minutes, mostly undisturbed - only flipping or stirring 2 times.
- Or microwave covered with a damp paper towel for 2-3 minutes.

Breakfast Fried Rice is my absolute favorite! Just heat the rice up and throw a fried egg on top!
