4 T butter, divided
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced (about 4 t)
3/4 lb boneless pork chops, finely diced
1 t salt

1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced (about 3 T)
1 T lime juice (about 1 small lime)

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 T butter, garlic, and pork. Cook until pork is lightly browned and cooked through; add salt and transfer to a bowl.
2. Continuing to cook over medium-high heat, add eggs to pan and cook until set. Add eggs to bowl with pork.
3. Continuing over medium-high heat, add remaining butter, rice, peas, and miso. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and add pork, eggs, cilantro, lime juice, and sesame oil; mix well. Serve with green onions.

Thank you so much for this recipe! Fried rice is a family “take out” favorite that I’ve always wanted to learn to make. I’ve seen recipes before, but your photo tutorial really makes the difference. And, the miso, we love miso. I’m going to try it next week, replacing the pork with tofu since we’re veggies. Won’t my family be surprised?!
I am not familiar with Miso use but this recipe looks delicious. One dish meals are the best!
This looks so yummy. I love fried rice. I have only had it with ham so it will be fun to mix things up and use pork!
