Roast Pork Tenderloin with Fried Rice

Bite Me! No offense, that's just the name of the cookbook my friend Tina gave me for Christmas. The description of the book is "a stomach-satisfying, visually gratifying, fresh-mouthed cookbook." When I was thinking of something to pair with my Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin this was the perfect side. We also recently discovered the joys of steamed edamame and bought a bag of frozen pods at Trader Joe's. Putting the three together for a meal worked out really well. It was totally filling and really tasty!

Fried Rice
(adapted from Bite Me)
serves 6

Ingredients
3 Tbsp Soy Sauce (I use low sodium)
2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
2 Tbsp Ketchup
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp freshly grated ginger
1/4 tsp Sriracha sauce or any hot sauce to taste

Whisk together the above ingredients and set aside.

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
1 medium bell pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup frozen green peas
4 cups pre-cooked and chilled white rice (I used Basmati rice from the freezer!)

Over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil over medium high heat in a wok or frying pan. Add all veggies (except peas and garlic) and cook until tender crisp, or to your liking. Stir in garlic and frozen peas and cook through. Add cooked rice and reserved sauce and cook for about 1 minute until heated through. Feel free to add two scrambled eggs if that suits your fancy.
