Calories: 382kcal
Ingredients
- 2 4 oz. boneless pork chops
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce divided in 1/4 cups
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter divided
- 1 red bell pepper small, thin slices
- 1 cup green beans boiled and chopped small
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1/2 white onion diced small
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 egg whisked
Instructions
- Marinated the pork chops in 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce for 15 minutes in a bowl. Prep the vegetables while you wait.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp of the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the pork chops in the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes on each side—10 minutes total.
- Remove the pork chops to a cutting board.
- Heat up a large wok, or reuse the cast-iron skillet. Melt the other 1 tablespoon of butter in it over medium heat.
- Add the bell pepper, chopped green beans, green onions, white onion, and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
- While the vegetables are cooking, dice the pork chops into small bite-sized pieces.
- Add in the cooked white rice, soy sauce, and the other 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce into the wok. Mix until everything is combined.
- Let the rice "fry" a little bit on the bottom—it should get crispy and sticky. Leave it for 1 minute, then stir fry. Do this about 3 times, or until the fried rice is to your liking.
- Create a small hole in the center of the wok or skillet. Pour in the whisked egg.
- Cook the egg in the hole until scrambled, then mix into the fried rice.
- Add in the diced pork chop bits. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately.
