- 1/2 cup cooked pork, diced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (assorted colors)
- 2 clove cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 packet of "Noh Chinese Fried Rice Seasoning" (This packet can be found at most International stores)
- 3 tbsp tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil for stir-frying
Ensure the cooked rice is cooled and not too sticky. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet to cool and dry slightly.
In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat.
Add the thinly sliced chicken and diced pork. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until they are cooked through and have a slight sear, then remove them from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the wok.
Add minced garlic and diced bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the thawed peas and carrots. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken, pork, and scrambled eggs to the wok.
Add the cooked rice and stir-fry everything together.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and evenly coated with the sauces.
Transfer the Chicken and Pork Fried Rice to serving plates.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
