Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day
  • old)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, peas, and onions)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  1. In a large pan over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in the same pan over high heat. Add the cooked rice and stir fry for 3 minutes or until heated through.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add the cooked pork, mixed vegetables, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil in a small pot over low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently until just set. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  5. Transfer the fried rice to a serving dish, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve alongside the steamed egg soup for a complete Paleo Chinese brunch feast.
