For the Love of...: ...Yeung Chow Fried Rice

Yeung Chow fried rice is a staple of many chinese restaurants and is just as easy to make at home. Everyone seems to have their own version but the common ingredients include eggs, veggies and char sui; a sweet and sticky roasted pork with a honey and soy glaze. Our version includes rice, combined with roasted pork, char sui, frozen peas and eggs.

Ingredients:

- 4-5 cups of cooked and cooled rice

- 6 eggs 

- 2 cups of frozen mixed veggies

- 1lb of char sui chopped into small  cubes

- 1lb of roasted pork chopped into small cubes

- 1 bunch of green onions chopped

- 1 tsp five spice powder

- 2 tbsp sesame oil

- 1/3 cup of light soy sauce

Method:

1. In a large non stick pan, heat 3 tbsp of canola oil and scramble the eggs

2. Once the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny, add the cooled rice, sesame oil, soy sauce and five spice and stir fry to combine. Set aside in a large serving bowl

3. In the same pan fry the char sui, roasted pork, frozen veggies, and green onion. Once everything is heated through add to the cooked rice and egg mixture
