Sweet and Sour Pork Fried Rice
Chef Ming Tsai , Blue Ginger


Ingredients

3 eggs, beaten
1 pound ground pork
1 bunch scallions sliced, white and green part separated
6 cups cooked long grain rice, preferably day old so it’s nice and dry
Tip: In a rush, place cooked rice on a sheet tray and place in freezer to cool and dry
1 cup Sweet and Sour Cranberry Chutney, plus 2 tablespoons for garnish
1 tablespoon naturally brewed soy sauce
Grapeseed or canola oil for cooking
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Sweet and Sour Cranberry Chutney

Makes 4 cups

2 red onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass, white part only
2 cups dried cranberries, such as Craisins, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups naturally brewed rice vinegar
Grapeseed or canola oil for cooking
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

In a wok (preferably non-stick) or sauté pan coated well with oil on high heat, add eggs (they should puff up immediately), stir quickly and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Place the wok back over high heat and add the pork. Break up and cook until browned, then add the scallion whites and mix. Add the rice, chutney, naturally brewed soy sauce, and the eggs. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and check for flavor. Serve in a large bowl and garnish with scallion greens and additional chutney.

Sweet and Sour Cranberry Chutney

In a sauté pan coated lightly with oil over high heat, sauté the onions and lemongrass until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and check for flavor. Add cranberries and sugar and deglaze with naturally brewed rice vinegar. Reduce by 75 percent, or until liquid is absorbed. Check again for seasoning. When cool, transfer to a container, cover, and store in fridge for up to two weeks.
