From the Test Kitchen

In this take on a Chinese-American favorite, our crowd-pleasing fried rice is topped with rich roasted pork, which gets bold flavor from a coating of cumin and sichuan peppercorn sauce. We’re also using some of this fragrant sauce in our irresistibly creamy, spiced mayo—perfect for dipping or spreading on top.

Cumin-Spiced Roast Pork with Vegetable Fried Rice
Title
  • 1 Pork Roast
  • 1 Pasture-Raised Egg
  • ½ cup Jasmine Rice
  • 6 oz Carrots
  • 10 oz Baby Bok Choy
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 3 Tbsps Cumin & Sichuan Peppercorn Sauce
  • 2 Tbsps Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsps Ghee
  • 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce

Cumin-Spiced Roast Pork

Glaze & roast the pork:
1 Glaze & roast the pork:

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add half the cumin-sichuan sauce; turn to coat. Transfer to the sheet pan. Roast, carefully flipping the pork halfway through, 25 to 27 minutes, or until cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 145°F). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes. 

2 Cook the rice:

While the pork roasts, in a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm.

Prepare the ingredients & make the cumin mayo:
3 Prepare the ingredients & make the cumin mayo:

While the rice cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; thinly slice into rounds. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut off and discard the root end of the bok choy; roughly chop. Crack the egg into a bowl; season with salt and pepper and beat until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and remaining cumin-sichuan sauce. 

4 Cook the vegetables & egg:

While the pork continues to roast, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Add the chopped garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the chopped bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Using a spoon, move the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the other side, then add the beaten egg. Cook, constantly stirring the egg, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cooked through. Stir the vegetables and egg to thoroughly combine. Transfer to a large bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Wipe out the pan.

5 Make the fried rice:

While the pork rests, in the same pan, heat the ghee on medium-high until melted. Add the cooked rice in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly crispy. Turn off the heat and stir in the soy sauce. Transfer to the bowl of cooked vegetables and egg; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. 

6 Slice the pork & serve your dish:

Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested pork; thinly slice crosswise against the grain. Serve the sliced pork and fried rice with the cumin mayo. Enjoy!
