Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Roughly chop cabbage and carrot mix. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork* and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Add cabbage and carrot mix; cook until softened, 2 minutes more.
Turn off heat; transfer pork mixture to a plate. Wipe out pan.
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Massage rice in package to break up grains. Open package and add rice to pan, then gently press into an even layer using a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon. Cook, undisturbed, until crispy, 2-3 minutes.
Return pork mixture to pan and stir to combine. Add garlic, scallion whites, soy sauce, and chili sauce; cook, stirring, until thoroughly combined, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Divide pork fried rice between bowls and garnish with scallion greens. Drizzle with as much hot sauce as you like. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the taste, comparing it favorably to takeout. Some found it a bit bland; adding extra soy sauce or chili sauce boosted flavor 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, with most appreciating the convenience of pre-cooked rice. Some struggled with rice sticking to the pan.
- Suggestions: Consider adding a scrambled egg, sesame seeds, or pineapple chunks. Try using more oil when frying the rice to prevent sticking.
- Portions: Some felt the dish needed more rice or sauce compared to the amount of meat. Adding extra veggies like edamame can bulk it up.
- Texture: The crispy rice was a hit for many, though some found it challenging to achieve the right consistency.
Reviews from our home cooks
Oh my gosh I loved this. Sweet, spicy, savory, easy to cook. Tons of flavor. Lower on calories. Oh..and the texture of the crispy rice. Yum. Will order this again!!!!
Cabbage had gone bad but we used two eggs to add something more. Fried rice needs eggs, please send eggs with this meal in the future, it's a game changer.
I Loved it. I don't usually get to eat pork fried rice because I'm allergic to carrots. Making it at home I can leave the carrots out.
3 very good meals. I especially liked the 'fried rice' mixed with pork & Cabbage mix.
Wish there was a little more rice and less cabbage
