Pork Mushroom Kebabs With Quick Fried Rice Recipes

SWEET AND SOUR PORK KABOBS WITH FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Kabobs:
• In a small bowl, mix first 5 ingredients together to make a marinade. Set marinade aside. In a medium bowl, place vegetables and pineapple. Place pork in a different medium bowl. Distribute marinade evenly between the 2 bowls and toss pork to coat. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Thread the pork, vegetables, and pineapple alternately on 4 skewers. Place skewers in a broiling pan and broil until pork is cooked through and beginning to brown, turning skewers halfway through cooking, about 5 minutes per side.
• Fried Rice:
• Open fried rice package and reserve seasonings. Combine rice and butter in a heavy large skillet and saute over medium heat until rice is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually add 2 cups water, soy sauce, and seasonings from fried rice package. Bring to a boil. Cover skillet and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle pineapple, peas, carrots, and corn over rice mixture. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and mix in pineapple, peas, carrots, and corn.

QUICK PORK FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms until the juice has evaporated, and the mushrooms are browned, about 15 minutes. Set mushrooms aside.
• Fluff cooked rice with a fork and stir in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to separate the grains. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook and stir pork, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute; add celery, onion, and carrot. Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in red bell pepper and cooked mushrooms just until combined.
• Stir in cooked rice, lightly tossing until rice is heated through and thoroughly combined with pork and vegetables. Stir in soy sauce, remove from heat, and sprinkle green onions over the top.

BARBECUED PORK FRIED RICE WITH MUSHROOMS AND EXTRA GINGER

Steps:

• In a large (10-inch or more) sauté pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the mushrooms without disturbing until browned on the underside, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, stir, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the mushrooms are glossy and pliant. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the chile, ginger, and the white portion of the scallions. Stir constantly until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the pork and stir vigorously for 1 minute to heat it through.
• Add the rice, toss well to combine, and let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to toast well. Add the corn and cook, tossing and stirring continuously, until warmed through, about another 30 seconds. Stir in the soy sauce and toss thoroughly to combine.
• While folding the rice mixture quickly, fold in the egg (don't let it sit still or the egg will pool and form ugly clumps). Remove the pan from the heat, add the scallion greens, and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or soy sauce as desired and serve.
