Scale
  • 1 tsp. Hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp. salt, divided

  • 2 cups diced, cooked roast pork butt or tenderloin

  1. In a small bowl stir together Hoisin, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Set aside. 
  2. In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add egg and ¼ teaspoon of the salt, stirring constantly until just scrambled but still slightly wet. Transfer egg to a plate, set aside.
  4. Add another tablespoon of the oil to pan. Add onion, pork, and another ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring constantly until onion is just translucent. Add peas and carrots, stir to combine.
