Minced pork rice
I’ve recently been loving a lot of mixed rice because it’s such an easy dinner for me. I don’t need to make multiple dishes and usually done in one pot. This minced pork rice is especially easy because it doesn’t require a lot of ingredients and so simple to make!
I love making this recipe when I have very few ingredients at home. I like how versatile this minced pork rice is and I can also add any veggies I want into this recipe. I usually prefers to add a bit of Bok Choy or other leafy veggies (steamed or boiled). The sauce makes any veggies taste good!
Inspiration for this minced pork rice
This minced pork rice was inspired by Taiwanese braised pork rice. If you never had Taiwanese braised pork rice, you should definitely give it a try! It’s made with cut up pork belly stewed in this delicious savoury soy sauce. The rice soaks up the delicious sauce and makes the rice so tasty! This minced pork rice is very similar to Taiwanese braised pork rice but instead of stewing the pork belly, I’m using ground pork which means it cooks a lot faster, perfect when you are short on time!

Pro-tip
- If you are using regular ground pork, reduce the amount of oil the ground pork will have a fat that will render out.
- When frying the ground pork, keep the heat at a medium or else the ground pork will clump up and the excess moisture won’t render out.
- Make sure that the egg white is slightly solidified before adding the sauce. Or else the sauce would be rendered down too much during cooking.
- If you like it more saucy, can skip the cornstarch slurry.
