Pulled Pork Fried Rice FAQ
Do you have to make this on a Blackstone?
Nope! If you don’t have a gas griddle or if the weather isn’t cooperating for outdoor cooking, you can make this in a wok on the stovetop. It’ll turn out better if you have a gas stove, but I’ve made fried rice on electric before too. If you have an electric stove, the key is to work in smaller batches so you can maintain the heat in the wok.
Can I use different types of rice?
Yes, while jasmine rice is preferred for its fragrance and texture, you can use any cold, pre-cooked rice you have.
What’s the best way to store and reheat leftovers?
With rice, you need to be careful to cool it and get it in the fridge promptly after cooking. Keep it above 140°F, and refrigerate the leftovers as soon as you’re done eating.
When prepping your rice for fried rice, spread out your hot, steamed rice onto a large sheet pan and place into the fridge or freezer until it is chilled. You can then store it in a more space-friendly way in a big plastic baggie or storage container.

- 2 cups leftover smoked pulled pork
- 6 cups cold jasmine rice
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
