Ingredients Needed
FOr the Pork
Pork Tenderloin: Dice it up into bite-sized cubes! Light Brown Sugar: A little brown sugar will help the edges caramelize and get crunchy in the pan! Sesame Oil: For a slight nutty flavor. Soy Sauce: This will serve as the salt here and provide a deep, umami flavor! Cornstarch: This also helps the pork to get crispy edges while still maintaining a moist center.
For the Fried Rice
Butter: This is the secret ingredient that is the key to making delicious, restaurant quality fried rice! It might seem like a lot of butter, but compared to what the hibachi restaurants use, this is not a lot. It will add flavor and really crisp up the rice nicely! Eggs: Scramble the eggs until they are just cooked! Vegetables: I used onion, carrots, garlic and peas here. I like my pork fried rice to have a lot of veggies! Rice: You will need already cooked, cold white rice. I think long grain white rice is best! Soy Sauce & Oyster Sauce: A combination of soy sauce and oyster sauce offer a deep umami flavor! Sesame Oil: For just a hint of nutty flavor.
