Instructions
Step 1. Cook the Pork Chops:
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove from skillet, rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Step 2. Prepare the Fried Rice:
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Scramble eggs until just set, then remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil, then sauté onion, garlic, peas, and carrots for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in rice, breaking up any clumps, then add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil.
- Toss in scrambled eggs and sliced pork. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Step 3. Serve:
- Garnish with green onions and serve hot.
