We have the end-piece of a pork loin in the fridge, and it's about to
be converted to a very meaty batch of fried rice. Generally, I'd use
cooked pork that I'd diced, but am going to experiment with dicing the
raw meat and using that. Here's my all-purpose fried rice recipe (we
don't have bean sprouts right now).
