Do you find yourself ordering different dishes when eating out on vacation? While on a recent trip I saw breakfast fried rice on the menu. Yes, please. After enjoying this savory pork belly fried rice with two perfectly cooked fried eggs on top, I knew I would have to recreate this breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner recipe at home.

This high-protein pork belly fried rice recipe is a fantastic way to use leftover pork belly (or any pork) and rice. The Asian flavors in this fried rice recipe pop! From sweet to salty to bitter to sour to pure umami, this could be my new favorite fried rice recipe.

Here is your shopping list for this savory pork rice recipe: cooked pork belly (or pork roast, pork chops, etc.), cooked jasmine or white rice, sazon seasoning, rice vinegar, yuzu sauce, fresh garlic, fresh ginger (read about the health benefits of ginger), green onions (scallions), pineapple (check out the health benefits of pineapple), carrot, soy sauce or tamari (tamari is gluten-free) and sesame oil. If you want eggs on top, grab some fresh eggs, too!

Cooking Tips: If you can't find yuzu sauce, use lemon, lime or grapefruit juice instead. My grocery store sells yuzu sauce on the Asian aisle. Don't like eggs? Leave them off.

This delicious pork belly fried rice with eggs is a deliciously different breakfast or brunch, or serve it for lunch or as a one-bowl dinner.
