Garlic Hoisin Pork Fried Rice (meal prep for work...)

Just because you do not have the "right" ingredients does not mean you cannot make a dish.

I found some pork chops in the freezer, which I typically do not like prepared on their own, and I found Arborio Rice in my pantry, which is starchier and not used in stir fries.... so the dish feels a little more gourmet and creamier.

You can always make something out of what you find rummaging in your food supply. Mix and match I say!

Let the cooker do the work...while you work!

You wouldn't leave the oven or stove on when you leave the house to run errands or head to the office, so why is the slow cooker an exception?
