Ingredients

• Graza Frizzle High Heat Cooking Oil
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• ½ C Carrot, Diced
• ½ C Yellow Onion, Diced
• 1C Asparagus, Cut into 1” Segments
• 1 Lime, Halved
• ¼ C Frozen Peas
• 2C White Rice, Precooked and Cooled
• 1 Pound BBQ Pulled Pork, shredded
• 5 Eggs
• BBQ Sauce
• ¼ C Stir-fry Sauce
• Scallions, Chopped for Garnish
• Yum Yum Sauce for Garnish
• Toasted Sesame Seeds for Garnish

Method

• Preheat griddle to medium heat.  Allow 10-15 minutes, or until the surface darkens and light smoke appears.
• Add a bit of Graza oil, then carrots, onions and asparagus to griddle. Season with salt and pepper. Allow vegetables 3-4 minutes to cook.
• Separately add shredded pork and cook until crispy edges start to form. Mix in a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
• Place the lime flat side down on griddle to char. Allow 2-3 minutes for this, then squeeze lime over the vegetables.
• Add rice to griddle to warm.
• Crack 3 eggs onto griddle and break the yolks with spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Chop up as it cooks.
• Fold eggs into rice, then pull all other ingredients into the rice on griddle. Pour the stir fry sauce in and toss to combine.
• Fry 1 egg sunny side up on griddle for each person.
• On the plate, lay down some fried rice, then place a fried egg on top.
• Garnish with a drizzle of Yum Yum sauce, BBQ sauce, chopped scallions, and sesame seeds.

Serving Suggestions

For a casual family meal, serve the fried rice directly from the griddle onto individual plates and let everyone add their preferred amount of BBQ sauce or Yum Yum sauce. A simple crisp salad or fresh vegetable side can provide a lighter contrast to the rich pork and sauces.

For entertaining, serve the fried rice family-style on a large platter with extra scallions, toasted sesame seeds, BBQ sauce, and Yum Yum sauce on the side. Guests can customize their portions while the sunny-side-up eggs provide an attractive finishing touch.

A refreshing citrus-based drink or sparkling beverage can also complement the dish, particularly because the charred lime brings acidity and brightness to the overall flavour profile.

Final Thoughts

Crispy BBQ pulled pork, fluffy eggs, tender vegetables, white rice, savoury stir-fry sauce, and fresh citrus come together to create a satisfying meal with layers of flavour and texture.
