RC

Pork (roast, loin, chops, shoulder or ham)
Rice
2 Green peppers
6 Carrots
1 Cabbage
1 medium Onion
3 or 4 Green onions
4 large eggs
Soy Sauce
Sesame oil (optional)

Slice pork thinly, then cut into small bits, not even bite sized.

Cut green peppers into thin strips, removing veins and seeds.

Peel carrots, quarter lengthwise, then cut into small pieces.

Cut green onions into half-inch lengths, using white and green part.

Julienne (cut into thin strips) cabbage. I use dark and light leaves to provide color.

Prepare rice - is main ingredient in true Chinese cooking, but you may want to use less rice and more meat and vegetables. These proportions should be used as a starting point and you may want or need to adjust to your family's taste. I use 4 cups of cooked rice as a starting point.

Heat wok or very large frying pan.
Add sesame oil to coat bottom of pan or wok. (gives good taste. If omitted, use small amount of cooking oil.) Add oil as necessary to each ingredient to prevent burning.
Fry pork until done. Remove to separate bowl.
Fry carrots until crispy tender, stirring often. Remove to bowl.
Fry pepper strips until crispy tender, stirring often. Remove to bowl.
Fry green onions until crispy tender, stirring often. Remove to bowl.
Fry cabbage until crispy tender, stirring often. Remove to bowl.

Break eggs into a bowl and mix like you would for scrambled eggs. Pour into pan and cook until set. I cook them like an omelet. Remove to a plate and cut into thin strips. Cut strips into small pieces.

Add meat and vegetables to pan or wok. Stir to mix thoroughly. Add 2 tablespoons of Soy Sauce (or more to taste). This will turn rice a nice brown color

Add the eggs pieces and stir briefly.

I serve this as a main meal along with bread and butter. Salt and additional Soy Sauce can be added at the table according to individual taste.

Note: Almost any meat can be substituted for the pork. Shrimp is very good - but don't over cook. Vegetables should be cooked just to the point where they are still crispy. You can add just about any vegetable you have in the refrigerator. Overdone makes the rice dish soggy.
