Pork Fried Rice

3 C steamed brown rice
2 T olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery
1 C carrots, chopped
1 C peas
1 1/2 C cabbage, chopped
2 C lean pork loin, chopped
1/3 C Bragg's Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Prepare rice ahead of time according to package directions. In large skillet, add oil, garlic, onion, carrots, green beans, and celery. If you are using raw meat, add it at this time as well. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add cabbage. If you are using pre-cooked meat, add it at after the cabbage. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until vegetables are at your desired tenderness and meat is thoroughly cooked if using raw meat. Add soy sauce, salt and pepper. Remember to go light on the salt because soy sauce has a high sodium content.

Makes 6 1 1/2 C servings.

Using leftover pork roast makes this meal easy. You can substitute chicken breast, beef, turkey breast or whatever meat you prefer in this recipe. You can also use different vegetables.I use whatever I have on hand. This recipe is great with leftover steak and broccoli as well. Peas are great instead of green beans, but I was out of them when I posted this recipe. You can also add almond slivers and sprouts instead of meat to make it a vegetable dish w/some protein. Additional optional seasoning: 1 t dried mustard, 1 t ground ginger.

Number of Servings: 6
