Marinated Pork Fried Rice

We loved this! I did change it up a little just for our fried rice preference. I'm assuming I was supposed to use the marinade while cooking the pork? I did not, I drained the marinade, then cooked the pork. I did not want all of my rice being that sweet. I only assume she had wanted us to the marinade because then there is no other flavoring added later to make it taste like "fried rice". After adding everything to the pan (minus the bell peppers, did not use). I added a good amount of soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil and we were good to go, delicious! The sweetness of the marinated pork was a great touch :) Made some cute little cream cheese wontons to go with and it was a perfect meal!

If wanting to use the marinade from any recipe, drain and simmer the marinade for 2 minutes before adding it back into the recipe.

That looks great Michelle! I love a good fried rice! :)
I love the idea of marinating the pork before hand, for added flavor. The marinade sounds great too, with the five spice powder, hoisin and chili sauce etc.
I wouldn't have used the marinade either, fried rice rice is suppose to be dry. A stir-fry perhaps, but not a fried rice. The wontons sounds yummy too! :)

Here's the recipe for five spice powder if anyone's inclined to make their own: Homemade 5-Spice Powder Recipe.
Dang, seems that I have forgotten how to transfer the recipe title for a link. The recipe is from Deliathecrone Homemade 5-spice powder.

Is it this one Points? Homemade 5 Spice Powder It looks like a good recipe for 5 spice. I don't care for most store bought ones, I find they are too sweet or have too much cinnamon.

Someone try to grow a Chinese prickly ash tree or bush. It's the source of the Szechuan peppercorns.EDIT: Try the tree not the bush. Turns out the bush can be invasive.

I'm not a huge fan of five spice powder, so when it is called for I always cut back and use just a little. I bet I would like it better homemade :)
