Wet very good! Just used pork loin - added the greens at the very end. Left out the okra because I couldn’t find any at the grocery. Will be a (new) New Year’s Day tradition. Everyone said it was the best preparation of black eyed peas they ever had.
This is very easy, quick and versatile. I used leftover pork tenderloin, asparagus, red bell pepper, and frozen peas. Toss in whatever you have! I’ve made other egg fried rice recipes - this was the easiest but the blandest. Couldn’t taste the ginger or sherry. Added quite a bit of soy sauce, and a bit of toasted sesame oil. As long as you have the rice already cooked and chilled, it’s a quick healthy dinner.
This was delicious! I’m about to do the type of review that I hate where there are many substitutions but I tried to stay true to the method besides some subbed ingredients. I used a thick cut uncured bacon, rotisserie chicken, and shrimp for the meats (all worked great!), added a diced onion, used regular sherry (medium california one), and left out the sugar (I always skip added sugar when I cook—this is why I added the onion for a bit of sweetness). So yum can’t wait to make again.
