This recipe is made with rice that has been prepared the day before, so that it doesn’t get mushy.
- Prepare the brown rice (2 ½ of water per 1 cup of rice). Remember that brown rice takes a little longer to cook.
- In a saucepan with a tablespoon of olive oil, fry garlic and onion (dried pepper).
- Add the pork chop, previously cut into small pieces, let it cook perfectly.
- Steam the vegetables, separately so that they don’t get mushy, and when they are ready, add them to the meat. (We recommend not using canned vegetables).
- At the end, add the rice and a little soy sauce mixing gently to avoid overbeating it.
- This dish is served hot.
