pork fried rice

Meaty grain dish

Pork fried rice is a Chinese-American dish of rice stir-fried with diced pork, eggs, vegetables, and soy sauce.

It's a staple of takeout menus and home cooking alike, typically made with day-old rice for better texture: I'll have the pork fried rice and an egg roll.

The pork is usually char siu (roasted barbecue pork) or whatever's on hand.
