Pork Adobo Fried Rice!
This is one of my Fried Rice Recipe series and if you want to know more of these easy fried rice recipes, check out my other fried rice recipes down below!
I noticed that now days (stay home, shelter in place, quarantine… because of COVID 19), we all looking for something EASY to make with the limited ingredients in our hand. So that’s why I decided to do this simple and easy fried rice recipe series and hope you guys love it!!
My simple & quick fried rice recipes need only few ingredients to accomplish and most of you probably has those ingredients in the pantry.
Let’s start with delicious Adobo Fried Rice!
Combine soy sauce, fish sauce, cane vinegar (or white vinegar) and sugar in a small mixing bowl, set aside.
Heat a wok over high heat, add cooking oil and crack an egg. Fry egg one by one, pour oil over the egg with a wooden spoon so you don’t have to flip over the egg. When the egg white’s crispy brown edges and yolk is cooked as your desire doneness, remove from the wok and set aside.
There should be around 3 tbsp cooking oil remained in now-empty wok. If it’s less than that, add more oil.
Add bay leaves, black pepper corn and garlic into wok then turn on the heat to high. This way we can slowly infuse the flavors from the bay leaves and black pepper corn to the oil, about 1 minute. Stir frequently.
Stir in pork. Break down pork well with wooden spoon.
When the pork is golden browned and fully cooked, add cold rice and pour the sauce mixture around the edge of the work. This way the sauce will start sizzle for better flavor.
If your stove is not quite powerful or/and your wok (skillet) is not thin enough, go ahead and add the sauce before the rice and cook with the pork for 1 minutes to evaporate some moisture first, then add the rice.
Mix everything well until every single grain of rice is coated evenly with the sauce.
Turn off the heat, place the fried eggs right on top. Serve with lime wedges to your tase.
Enjoy!

Can’t wait to try this! I have a few questions though. Should I be using whole peppercorns? Also, can white vinegar can be used? It’s written in your article but not an option in your recipe. I have rice vinegar I got for sushi rice but it is the sweet and tangy version. Please let me know which vinegar I should use!:) Thank you so much for your delicious recipes and your lovely personality!^^
Yes, you should use whole peppercorns, and yes you can use white vinegar!
Hi, quick question, are the bay leafs meant to be fresh or dried, the recipe doesn’t specify…
I used dried bay leaves. Sorry for the confusion ):
