This is delicious. I can make a meal out of this. I did add some frozen peas and carrots. The second time I used up leftover chicken. Every bit as good as the pork.

I amped it up by adding extra veggies and an extra egg. I had one lonely pork chop, so I diced it up fairly small. Used leftover rice from chinese take out. Definately needed extra soy sauce, I just kept adding it a little at a time until it tasted right. Fast & easy as can be, fresh tasting and uses up leftovers. The small amount I had leftover i nuked the next day, yummo. This is a keeper in my book, everyone liked it.

This is amazing! My picky 6 and 8 yr old love it! A quick and healthy meal in and of itself! My husband has indicated this needs to be a reguLar staple meal when we are short on time. Delicious and easy to do with ingredients we always have in stock.

Loved this - perfect way to use up leftover porkchops that I always seem to have. And whenever we have leftover rice, I toss it in the freezer in 1 cup portions, so there's always cooked rice on hand to quickly thaw. The only thing I changed was to use only 2 eggs and only 1 Tbsp of the oil. My husband said it could have used more oil, so I might increase next time, but I thought it was fine without both tablespoons. Definitely will be a keeper and in my meal planning when I have leftover pork or chicken.

Very good!! Was very handy to use up leftovers. Added some wonton strips on top for some yummy crunch. Will definitely make again!

Grilled a pork roast yesterday and when I was looking for a recipe tonight, this was the first to pop up. Easy, quick and my husband loved it. May mix up a few ingredients but very tasty just as is. Great!
