Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Chinese rice wine, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Add the thinly sliced pork and toss to ensure it's evenly coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

02

Step
8 mins

Preheat a wok or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peanut oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated pork in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the wok. Stir-fry until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and set aside. (Cook time: 5-8 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Add the diced onion to the wok and cook in the remaining oil until softened and translucent, approximately 2-3 minutes. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

In a small bowl, create a curry paste by mixing the curry powder with the water until a smooth paste forms. (Prep time: 1 minute)

05

Step
1 mins

Add the curry paste, sliced spring onion, and salt to the wok with the softened onions. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant. (Cook time: 1 minute)

06

Step
2 mins

Add the cold cooked rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with your spatula or spoon. Stir-fry to incorporate the rice with the curry-onion mixture. Then, add the green peas and stir-fry for another minute. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

07

Step
3 mins

Return the cooked pork to the wok. Cook and stir until the rice and pork are heated through and everything is well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

For best results, use day-old cooked rice. This will prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
Adjust the amount of curry powder to your preference. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced carrots, bell peppers, or bean sprouts.
If you don't have Chinese rice wine, you can substitute with dry sherry.
Make sure your wok is very hot before adding the pork to achieve a good sear.
