How to Make Pulled Pork Fried Rice

1. Heat Up the Griddle or Skillet

  • Set your Blackstone griddle, cast-iron skillet, or wok to medium-high heat.

  • Add 1 tbsp sesame oil and let it heat up.

2. Warm Up the Pulled Pork

  • Add the chopped pulled pork to the hot surface.

  • Stir occasionally, just heating it through (not overcooking it).

  • Move it to the cooler side of the griddle or pan.

3. Cook the Vegetables

  • Add 1 tbsp cooking oil, then toss in the onions, peas, and carrots.

  • Cook until the onions are translucent and the veggies are heated through.

4. Stir-Fry the Rice

  • Push the veggies aside and add another tbsp of cooking oil.

  • Add the cooked rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any clumps.

  • Pour in soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (if using), and remaining sesame oil.

  • Stir everything together, making sure the rice absorbs all the flavors.

5. Add Butter & Seasonings

  • Add butter, granulated garlic, pepper, and a little salt if needed.

  • Mix well until the butter is fully melted and the seasonings are evenly distributed.

6. Cook the Eggs

  • Push the rice to one side of the griddle or pan.

  • Add a little oil, then pour in the beaten eggs.

  • Scramble the eggs, then chop them up and mix them into the rice.

7. Final Mix & Serve

  • Stir everything together one last time.

  • Adjust seasoning if needed (add more soy sauce for color and flavor).

  • Serve hot with a squeeze of sriracha or a drizzle of extra soy sauce.

Serving Suggestions

  • Top with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor.

  • Add a fried egg on top for a richer taste.
