Fried Rice

I'll admit that I got this recipe directly from Minute Rice.  We had a huge, Sam's Club-sized box of Minute Rice and my wife wanted fried rice.  It's one of her comfort foods and she wasn't feeling well.  I'll also admit that I had little faith in the recipe, but it turned out good!  It's quick and easy and clean up is simple due to the use of just one skillet to cook it.  I've also substituted regular frozen vegetables when stir fry veggies weren't available and it turned out well.  You can also use the skillet beforehand to brown some chicken or shrimp in soy to add a little protein to the meal.  

 

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables, thawed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cups Minute® White Rice, uncooked

Directions

1. Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add eggs; cook until set, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet.
2. Add broth, vegetables and soy sauce to skillet; bring to boil. Stir in rice; cover. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
3. Stir in cooked eggs. Serve immediately.

Orange Soy Pork Loin

Ok, if you haven't noticed, I like pork.  Pork Loin is one of my favorites.  I love the combination of flavors in this one.  It's easy to cook and everyone in my family enjoys it. 

If you're not a fan of Rosemary, cut back a bit as it is a bit strong of a flavor in this one. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 (5 pound) boneless pork loin roast

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, red onion slices, rosemary and garlic. Place the pork roast in a baking bag, and set in a roasting pan or baking dish. Pour the orange juice mixture over the roast, making sure to coat entirely. Close the bag according to package instructions.
3. Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, until the internal temperature of the loin is at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven, and let stand for about 10 minutes to settle the juices. Carefully open the bag and remove the roast. Slice and serve with a little of the drippings drizzled over.
