Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Separate the white and green parts of the spring onions. Fluff the cooked rice to break up any clumps.

2. 2

   Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set but still slightly moist. Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   Add a little more vegetable oil to the pan if needed. Add the diced pork loin and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Add the minced garlic and diced carrot, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly tender.

4. 4

   Add the cooked short-grain rice to the pan, breaking up any remaining clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly toasted. Add the thawed green peas and the white parts of the spring onions, stir-fry for 1 minute.

5. 5

   Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce and mirin. Season with salt and white pepper. Continue to stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with the seasoning.

6. 6

   Stir in the green parts of the spring onions. Drizzle with sesame oil and give a final quick toss. Serve hot.
