Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pork Fried Rice and Vegetable Casserole.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon.
Step 2
Cook it for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until it’s beautifully browned and crispy.
Step 3
Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels to absorb the excess grease, and once it cools, crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Don’t forget to keep those delicious bacon drippings in the skillet; they’ll add amazing flavor to your dish.
Step 5
Next, grab a saucepan and bring 1 3/4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
Step 6
Stir in the rice, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover it up, and let it simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.
Step 7
While the rice is cooking, take a bowl and beat together the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water.
Step 8
In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture.
Step 9
Cook the eggs for about 5 minutes until they’re firm and fully cooked, then transfer them to a plate and slice them thinly.
Step 10
In the same skillet, add the remaining bacon drippings and heat over medium heat.
Step 11
Toss in the chopped green onions and sauté them for about 3 to 5 minutes until they’re tender and fragrant.
Step 12
Pour the sautéed onions over the sliced eggs and set this aside for later.
Step 13
Now, increase the heat to medium-high and add the pork pieces to the skillet.
Step 14
Cook them, stirring frequently, for about 5 to 10 minutes until they’re nicely browned and cooked through.
Step 15
While the pork is sizzling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 16
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sliced eggs, and soy sauce, stirring well to blend the flavors.
Step 17
Gently fold in the drained corn and green beans, then transfer this colorful mixture to a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 18
Top it off with the cooked pork and sprinkle the crumbled bacon generously over everything.
Step 19
Pop the casserole into your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
Step 20
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await this comforting dish!.
