Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry produce.

    Roughly chop cabbage and carrot mix. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites.

  2. 2

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork* and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

    Add cabbage and carrot mix; cook until softened, 2 minutes more.

    Turn off heat; transfer pork mixture to a plate. Wipe out pan.

  3. 3

    Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Massage rice in package to break up grains. Open package and add rice to pan, then gently press into an even layer using a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon. Cook, undisturbed, until crispy, 2-3 minutes.

    Return pork mixture to pan and stir to combine. Add garlic, scallion whites, soy sauce, and chili sauce; cook, stirring, until thoroughly combined, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

  4. 4

    Divide pork fried rice between bowls and garnish with scallion greens. Drizzle with as much hot sauce as you like. Serve.
