Fried rice is one of the most common dishes in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia and is often combined with other foods such as chicken, eggs, pork, beef, and seafood. Believed to have originated in the city of Yangshou during the Mui dynasty between 581-618, different Asian cultures—and Chinese American restauranteurs—have developed different versions of the dish often using locally available foods.
This flavorful version combines ground pork, fluffy scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, and crispy rice and is something the whole family can enjoy. Plus, this recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, and heavy on vegetables.
