Prep Your Ingredients

  1. Make sure all your ingredients are ready to go, as fried rice cooks quickly. Dice the BBQ pork, mince the garlic, chop the green onions, and beat the eggs.

Heat the Wok

  1. Set a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and swirl it around.

Scramble the Eggs

  1. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Cook the BBQ Pork & Aromatics

  1. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Toss in the diced BBQ pork and cook for about 1-2 minutes until slightly crispy. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
