Pork Chops and Pineapple Fried Rice

Cook the rice ahead of time, like even a day or two before, and this one skillet meal is ready in no time. Or if you have leftover cooked rice from a previous meal, even easier!

Ingredients:

4 pork chops
2 cups cooked rice (see No Fail Rice Pilaf link below)
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
1/2 sweet red or yellow pepper, diced
2 pineapple rings, and juice
3 oz soya sauce
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsps honey
2 tsps sriracha sauce
2 tbsps reserved pineapple juice from rings
salt and pepper to taste
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs, beaten
1  1/2 cups frozen green peas
sliced green onions to garnish

In a large skillet heat butter and oil and brown the chops.
Add onion, sweet pepper and pineapple cut in chunks. Cook 2-3 minutes.

Mix soya sauce, vinegar, honey and sriracha sauce and cook until liquid is "saucy" and the chops are cooked through. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove the chops and sauce to a plate and keep warm.

In the same pan heat a little oil and add garlic. Cook 1 minute then add the beaten eggs. Stir to scramble then add the frozen peas. When the peas are heated through, about 2 minutes, stir in the cooked rice. You may choose to add more soya sauce here.

Place chops on a serving of rice topped with veggie/pineapple sauce. Garnish with green onion.  Better than take-out!
