I have tried many versions of fried rice including pork fried rice. This recipe from Betty Crocker is a wonderful twist on a tried and true favorite. Tropical mango gives this fried rice the aroma and taste of…the Philippines!

Picture of a wonderful dish called Mango-Pork Fried RicePrep Time: 25 min
Total Time: 30 min
Makes: 5 servings

3/4 cup diced cooked pork
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 mango, peeled and diced (1 pound)
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (3 ounces)
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger root
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 cups cold cooked rice
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1. Mix pork and cornstarch. Spray nonstick wok or 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat until cooking spray starts to bubble. Add pork, mango, water chestnuts, mushrooms, ginger root and garlic; stir-fry 1 minute. Remove pork mixture from wok.

2. Spray wok or skillet with cooking spray; heat until cooking spray starts to bubble. Add rice; stir-fry about 1 minute or until rice is hot. Stir in soy sauce. Add pork mixture, peas, onions and pepper; stir-fry 1 minute.

Use any remaining mango in a fresh-fruit salad, and serve alongside the fried rice.

Don’t live in an area of fresh mangoes? Use 1 cup of diced mango slices available in jars instead.

This is great as a side dish served with a main dish of  gingered shrimp.
