I thawed out three boneless pork sirloin chops (Costco $2.99/lb.)
during the day and planned to cook a simple dinner of grilled pork chops with steamed sugar
snap peas (Costco $5.49/ 2 lb.) that we bought Monday night afte meditation.
When I arrived at 8:30 p.m. from meditating, Suzette did not
want to cook. I said I would cook the pork chops and sugar snap peas. She suggested Pork Fried Rice and I agreed,
since Chinese cooking in a wok is usually my task.
So I de-stringed about 1 cup of the sugar snap peas, sliced ½
poblano pepper, four shitake mushrooms, and three large 18 inch long Mexican green
onions, and then minced 1 Tbsp. of garlic
and 1 1/2 Tbsp. of ginger and chopped up two pork chops.
I heated up my wok and added peanut oil and sesame oil. Suzette then rallied and stirred up two eggs
and fried them into a pancake in the wok.
After flipping the egg pancake to cook both sides, we removed the egg to
a side plate and I poured in more sesame and peanut oil and put in the
vegetables. The pork was in a separate
bowl and Suzette fried the pork in a separate skillet.
After the vegetables softened and cooked I added a dash each
of Chinese Rice Cooking Wine, soy sauce, and mushroom soy and then added about
1 cup of PPI cooked basmati rice. After
that mixture cooked a bit we added the pork and stirred it in and cooked about
2 minutes more and we were ready to eat.
I asked Suzette if she wanted to add some Hoisin sauce to
add flavor and sweetness and she said, “Yes”, so I squirted about 2 Tbsp. of
Hoisin into the mix and stirred it in.
Then we spooned a pile of fried rice on each person’s plate. Suzette drank a beer and I drank green tea.
A very quick,
delicious, fresh, hot meal.
Bon Appétit
