Adobo Fried Rice

Before today, I’ve never tried adobo fried rice, much less cook it. My family loves adobo and will even have it for days in a row so I’ve never had enough leftover adobo pork meat to try my hand on an adobo fried rice recipe. However, my submission of binagoongan rice to the Lasang Pinoy 22 Rice Challenge sent a few food bloggers for a visit and somehow, all their warm enthusiasm and comments awakened the rice-loving monster in me! I cooked pork adobo specifically to make adobo fried rice! I suppose the sizable mound of it that I consumed was a clear indication of what resolution I won’t be meeting AGAIN this year!

Makes 4 Servings

3 cups cold rice
1 cup of pork adobo, shredded coarsely
1/4 pork adobo sauce
2 eggs, lightly beaten
vegetable oil
fried garlic chips

Heat around 2-3 tbsps of vegetable in a wide skillet. Saute shredded pork adobo meat until slightly crisp and dry.

Stir in rice until well combined. Slide rice mixture to the side of skillet and pour around 1 tbsp vegetable oil at the center of the skillet.

Lightly scramble egg in the oil. Mix in with the rice mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup of the pork adobo sauce.
Place in serving platter and garnish with fried garlic chips, as desired.

TIPS:
1) No need for additional salt and pepper as the pork adobo is already well-seasoned.
2) Another trick is to stir in cooked rice in the pot used to cook the adobo~scrape in all the good little bits of meat and sauce into the rice! Add in desired amount of shredded pork meat.
