Default smoky joe pork fried rice

This was one of those days where I had no plan, all alone, & the fridge was pretty much empty. Poking around trying to come up with something to slap together when I happened upon two very thinly sliced pieces of bone in butt steaks in the freezer along with a bag of frozen veggies. Started thinking pork fried rice so into the pantry I went & there it was, the 9 year old box of uncle bens brown rice with just enough left in it to make the dish, then into the fridge to locate the even older bottle of soy sauce.

I've recently come across a contingent that thinks the smoky joe is without use & is best suited taking up space in a landfill. I find that to be absurd because I manage to find a use for the little guy nearly every day, today being no different.



about 1/3 of a chimney of Kingsford & a fist full of mesquite setup indirect, pork steaks rubbed with salt & pepper, lid on & let it get happy :



little while later all sliced up & ready to go:



get the wok screaming hot:



the prehistoric rice, frozen veggies & half a sliced onion that was also hiding in the fridge:



onion in first to saute for a few minutes:



then the rest of the stuff:





not sure where she came from

fry the crap out of it for a good few minutes:



and eat



not bad

Is that a Miller High Life I see in the first picture? I understand, as it is the "Champagne of Beers."

Looks good! So how did using the frozen veggies work out for you texture wise?

deguerre, they worked out very nice. They were the birdseye 'steam in bag' kind, pop the bag in the microwave for 6 minutes & the bag blows up like a balloon. Truthfully I can't tell the difference between these & fresh, once they're cooked they all taste about the same to me anyway.

In fact I enjoyed this so much I'm now going to duplicate it on purpose , this morning I picked up a similar bag but this one has sugar snap peas, water chestnuts, carrots & broccoli - also picked up a pack of chicken thighs & some chicken stock, next batch will be chicken fried rice & I'll cook the rice in the stock for flavor & cut back on the soy sauce.

Thanks! I've never used frozen, but I have been eying the Birdseye stir fry veggie mix. Sure would be easier to just have them in the freezer without worrying they'll go bad in the fridge before you get around to cooking them. Not that I know anything about that...
