Are you kidding me with the quick and easy dinner? I mean honestly, this Pork Fried Rice literally takes less than 15 minutes to have on the table. If I have talked about my sweet Cantonese neighbor once I've talked about her a billion times. She is literally the best thing. Today she called and said "Hi Michelle, you want soup? Come over right now, okay?" and of course I had no idea what she had made, but I knew it would be delicious and almost forgot my shoes as I scurried out the door. She is 4'10" of fight and strength and kindness with a side of feeding anyone within 100 yards. She is also a giver. If she knit something cute, you are gonna take it with you, If she recently went to the store and happened to have extra bao, shumi, egg custards or other treats, my husband lucks out because I cannot eat them. Guess I can thank her though, cuz it sure does make him happy.. and you know what they say about happy husbands... nah, they still forget everything. So, when it comes to this meal, I have to hand it to her for the inspiration. She is forever handing me leftovers as I walk out the door, and on this occasion she asked if I wanted some char sui and rice as I was leaving. Tell me you would have said no! I DARE YOU! Now before you start going crazy about how char sui is made with soy sauce and therefore not gluten free, I understand that. But, perhaps my body is just crazy.. I have not once gotten sick from this dish. If you don't feel like its a good choice for you, please use a protein or vegetable that makes you feel more safe .. IngredientsSAUCE
If you cannot get your hands on char shui, you might try substituting shrimp, beef, leftover pork or even tofu. We happen to have quite the selection of Asian markets near my house, so it's not hard to stop by on my way home from school or work to grab any ingredients the neighbor didn't happen to pass along that day.

I'm not gonna say that I am better at this than my neighbor, Lai.. that would be dumb! But I will say that my husband and I both agreed it was better than any take-out we had ever had. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think if you try it!
Xo, Michelle
