- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce (for seasoning and color)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables and mushrooms that will add color and texture to your fried rice. Wash the carrot, onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and king oyster mushrooms thoroughly. Then, finely chop all of them using a knife or a food processor. Finely dicing ensures the ingredients blend well with the rice for a more delicious result.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the seasoning sauce that will define the flavor of your fried rice. In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp oyster sauce, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp cooking wine, and 3 Tbsp oligodang. Stir well with a spoon until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Preparing the sauce beforehand makes the cooking process quick and convenient.
Step 3
It’s best to prepare the eggs just before you start cooking. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Use a chopstick to gently break and remove the chalazae (the white, stringy bits) from the eggs. This helps the eggs cook up soft. You can also add a pinch of pepper for extra flavor. Whisk them lightly until well combined.
Step 4
Heat 5 Tbsp of cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 3 Tbsp of minced green onion and sauté slowly until fragrant. The gentle heat will release the sweet aroma of the scallions, creating a delicious scallion oil that will greatly enhance the overall flavor of your fried rice. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 5
Once the scallion aroma is prominent, add 300g of ground pork and 1 tsp of sugar. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir-fry the pork, breaking it up with chopsticks or a spatula so it doesn’t clump. Cook until the pork is nicely browned and cooked through. The sugar helps to tenderize the pork and adds a subtle sweetness.
Step 6
Once the pork is cooked, add all the finely chopped vegetables and mushrooms (carrot, onion, bell peppers, mushrooms) to the pan. Stir-fry vigorously over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to release some moisture but retain a slight crispness. This keeps the vegetables fresh and vibrant.
Step 7
Push the cooked ingredients to one side of the pan, creating a space. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty space and scramble them. Cook until the eggs are about 80% set, then gently stir them with a chopstick to create soft, fluffy curds. This adds a lovely soft texture to the fried rice.
Step 8
Gently move the scrambled eggs to the side with the other ingredients. Pour the prepared seasoning sauce into the cleared space in the pan. Let the sauce come to a simmer, then let it bubble for about 10 seconds, gently pressing the sauce against the bottom of the pan with your spoon. This allows the sauce to reduce slightly and deepen in flavor.
Step 9
Now, combine the scrambled eggs with the rest of the ingredients and the reduced sauce. Stir everything together evenly using a spatula and continue to stir-fry for about 1 minute. Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning and ensure all ingredients are well coated with the sauce.
Step 10
Finally, add 2 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Break up any clumps of rice and stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring the rice is coated with the sauce and ingredients. Continue to stir-fry until the rice is slightly toasted and all the components are well mixed. Your delicious Oyster Sauce Pork Fried Rice is ready! Serve immediately for the best taste.
