Recipe for Rice Month

September is National Rice month. While the harvest may be small rice is one grain that has been in America for over 300 years, Did you know that around 85% of the rice consumed is grown here in the United States. States such as Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas all grow the crop. In order to honor the hard work of these farmers I am sharing a delicious recipe of Fried Pork Rice 

2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 onion, chopped

1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4" pieces

1/2 lb. ground pork

kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp. grated ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 c. frozen peas

4 c. cooked white rice

2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp. hoisin sauce

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tsp. sesame oil

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add eggs and let sit for a few seconds before lightly scrambling and folding the egg mixture over itself. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil then add onion and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Add the ground pork to the skillet and season with salt and pepper, then cook until the pork is no longer pink and is starting to caramelize. Stir in the ginger, garlic, and peas and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the rice then stir in the soy sauce, hoisin, green onions, and sesame oil. Toss to combine then fold in scrambled eggs. Serve immediately.
