Why We Love This Triple Pork Fried Rice Recipe

Have I ever told you how much I love pork? Pork is by far my favorite source of protein. It’s so rich, juicy, flavorful, and there are so many options of piggy products… Bacon, pork belly, Canadian bacon, pork chops, ham, pork roast, pork tenderloin, rib roast, pork ribs, pepperoni, sausage, ground pork, pulled pork, pork shank, ham hocks. I could go on. Most of my favorite meals involve a little porky goodness, even if it’s just bacon grease. Yet this Triple Pork Fried Rice recipe is completely about celebrating pork in all its glory, with a trinity of porky deliciousness.

Bonus: All of the cooking for this recipe is done using just one wok or skillet, and everything can be served and enjoyed in one bowl!
