Homemade Fried Rice & Asian Red Pork

My parents are from Cambodia. During my childhood my mom would make Cambodian fried rice and it's one of my favorite dishes. It's so delicious. Nothing is better than mom's homemade cooking. I miss her cooking so much and it's not so easy living across the Atlantic far away from my family back in New England. Every time we visit she would make all my favorites. It's so nice for her to cook and share Asian/Cambodian food with her grand kids too.
