Mary's Cajun style pork fried rice.

1cup rice
2 cups of water
left over pork (I used loin meat but you could use a chop)
1/4 cup of frozen soup vegetables (peas and carrots is traditional for pork fried rice)
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup red bell pepper (green would work, or jalapeno what ever)
1 egg
 
 
This is one of those "OH NO WHAT DO WE EAT" recipes. It just kind of makes itself. First fry chopped pork in the bottom  of your rice pot with some butter or oil, garlic, oregano and Cajun seasoning. Put in frozen veggies. Don't use tomatoes or corn. All other veggies are good. Mine had okra in it witch lent itself to be Cajun. Stir to coat with oil and spices. Then add your water. When boiling add rice cover reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is gone.
 
In the mean time fry onions and peppers in a frying pan set to side. Then fry the egg on a high heat stirring constantly. It should look like a scrambled egg when done.
 
Mix all ingredients together with  the cooked rice mixture. Then serve with soy sauce. It is very filling and inexpensive.
