The Pork And Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe

Cooking Of The Rice

Cook 2.5 cups of white rice (do NOT use Chinese sticky rice OR Jasmine rice) with 2 cups unsalted water. Cook for 20 minutes or until done. Once the rice is finished cooking let is cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then place the rice in the refrigerator for at least one hour to chill completely. Reserve until needed.

Ingredients:

1/3 pound small (28 - 30 per pound) fresh shrimp
1 cleaned pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon fresh garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon orange zest
juice from one orange
1 tablespoon red chili flakes
2 tablespoon soy sauce

Cooking methods:

Place all ingredients together in a mixing bowl and reserve. Clean the pork tenderloin well and cut into small bite size pieces no bigger than 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and place in a small bowl. Place the shrimp (cleaned and devained of course) in a small bowl as well. Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp and the other half over the pork and reserve.

Heat a very large saute pan or wok over a high flame for several minutes, you want to get your cooking surface very, very hot. Add one tablespoon of sesame oil to the wok or saute pan and saute the shrimp for several minutes. It is important to keep the shrimp moving in the pan as to not burn or over cook the shrimp. Once the shrimp is finished cooking remove from the saute pan and reserve. Clean the wok or saute pan out and perform the same operation with the pork. Again it is very important to start with a very hot surface in order to "stir fry" the pork. Remove the pork from the cooking surface and reserve.
