hong kong baked porkchop rice

i google hong kong baked porkchop rice after having it at abc cafe over the long weekend.  i got this recipe and tried it out last night.  all in all pretty good.  the portion is huge in this recipe.  i tried to halve it but there didnt seem to be enough sauce.  i also didnt have ketchup and used spaghetti sauce instead.  also i added some extra veggies like mushrooms in the sauce and also broccoli stems in the rice.  pretty good for a first try!  Oh i also didnt have flour nor bread crumbs so just dredged the pork in panko and egg.  haha ... still not bad! oh and i thought leaving the bone in the porkchop made it fattier and in effect juicier. that and not cooking it all the way through.  i cooked it until probably medium rare then after the oven, it went to medium Oh another thing.  haha i keep thinking of random things in no particular order.  fried rice is best made with not fresh rice but old or day old rice that you made before.  this is because then the rice is more dry, less moist.
