Japanese BBQ Pork Fried Rice

Happy April Fool’s Day! I genuinely cannot believe it’s already April. This year is flying by (is that the joke?). Guess what is not an April Fool’s joke? How DELICIOUS this dish is! We threw this together last night for dinner based on ingredients we had in the fridge. Then, I shared a photo of it on Twitter asking if people wanted the recipe. To our surprise, as of the time I am typing this we have 90 likes on the photo! Figured I needed to get my butt in gear and post it. 😉

This recipe is super easy and quick, so perfect for weeknights. Next time I will attempt making Japanese BBQ sauce from scratch! The pork is really tasty in this dish, too. You can also serve this as a side dish – super versatile!

Would love to hear your feedback if you make it! Cheers!
