To make a good fried rice you don't need soy sauce. It adds flavor but you can do with bacon. My fried rice at home always includes bacon bits or chunks fried together with the rice. Then using pork belly meat together for pork fried rice. At the end when you are done then add salt and stir. If you have soy sauce use that but the bacon gives it the flavor.

Fried rice is a generic category, not a specific recipe. Neither is pork fried rice. You do not have to use soy sauce. It can still taste like an Asian dish without soy sauce.

Minced ginger, scallions, garlic, sesame paste or oil, red hot pepper oil or paste, and miso are among the seasonings that can be used singly or in combos with themselves or other ingredients such as fresh vegetables.

Some people use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce.

Experiment. In my childhood, fried rice was for using up leftover rice and other ingredients from dinners. It was a fantastic hot breakfast!

Do you have any oyster sauce or sesame oil? Those are the two seasonings I use in my fried rice.

I'd make it sweet and sour if I had no soy sauce.. Equal parts of brown sugar and vinegar. (apple cider vinegar if I had it) I'd add some minced ginger if I had it.. otherwise powdered ginger. And I'd up the garlic if I had enough.. garlic and ginger are really tasty together.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say if the OP doesn't have soy sauce, they don't have oyster sauce either.

Basically OP just wants to play a game of Chopped.

To the OP you say you have "all the ingredients", what are these ingredients? So far you don't have the ingredients to make "pork fried rice" as I'm assuming you mean this to be Americanized Chinese food style.

You probably have the ingredients to make A pork fried rice but not necessarily what you had in mind. Good Mexican rice starts off with alot of oil and has a "fried" taste/consistency, you can use your salsa here. Cook that pork up on the side and make some tacos.
