Ingredients

¾ pound pork tenderloin cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons sesame oil
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ diced white onion
1 cup thawed frozen peas and carrots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 lightly beaten eggs
3 cups cooked rice
2-3 tablespoons soy sauce more or less to taste
2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the 3 tablespoons sesame oil, ¾ pound pork tenderloin, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining sesame oil to the same wok along with ½ diced white onion and 1 cup thawed frozen peas and carrots and cook over medium heat until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Slide the vegetables to the side, and pour 2 lightly beaten eggs onto the other side of the skillet. Use a spatula to scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.
Add 3 cups cooked rice to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce on top. Stir the rice and veggie mixture until warmed through and combined.
Add the cooked pork back to the rice and veggie mixture and stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes, until heated through and combined.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions and serve immediately.
