My 15 minute ground pork fried rice recipe is the easiest way to bring homemade dinner to the table. I love using simple ingredients like pork, eggs, vegetables, aromatics, and spices to make a delicious and complete meal that tastes better than takeout. I promise that once you try this version, takeout will no longer tempt you.
1 cup mixed frozen vegetables ((carrots, peas, and corn))
3 cups leftover steamed rice ((long grain or medium grain rice))
Salt ((to taste))
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Steps
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ground pork. Break it apart and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the green onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Stir and cook for 1 minute to mix well.
Add the rice and turn to medium heat. Cook and stir to mix everything together. 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in a bit more oil if the rice looks dry. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir to mix the sauce with the other ingredients.
Add the mixed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook until the vegetables defrost, 1 minute or so.
Move everything to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the other side of the pan. Add the beaten eggs. Let the bottom set for a couple of seconds. Then scramble the eggs and use your spatula to cut them into small pieces. Then mix the eggs with the other ingredients.
Taste the rice and add salt to adjust the seasoning, if needed, then mix well again. If you like slightly crispy rice, let the rice sit on the hot pan for 20 to 30 seconds without stirring.
Add the sesame oil and mix everything again. Transfer the fried rice onto serving plates. Serve hot as a main or side dish.

Jill Ringenberg on 2026-09-24 (5 stars): After several failed attempts with other recipes tried this one...no more searching, this is by far THE BEST..and easy. Made as written except I used leftover pork roast and a touch more oil. Had enough left over for lunch the following day after 2 generous dinner portions. Will highly recommend.
J Ringenberg on 2026-09-23 (5 stars): I have made several attempts with other recipes.
This is by far the BEST AND EASIEST with great flavor. I made one change I used leftover pork roast instead of ground pork adding a bit more oil. Will be making this many times in the future to finish up small amounts of vegetables and meat.J
Vemi on 2026-08-08 (5 stars): I've been using a stainless steel pan, I think that explains it. I'll try my cast iron pan at a higher heat next time I try this recipe out. Thanks for the response!
Vemi on 2026-08-08 (5 stars): Tastes bloody amazing, though what am I doing wrong that my rice sticks to the pan? I'm using refrigerated day old rice
