Ginger Pork Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
• 12 oz ground pork
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the pork and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic for 30 seconds, then move everything to a plate.

2. Add the remaining oil and the eggs to the skillet and scramble until just set, about 1 minute.

3. Add the rice and press it flat. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then toss and repeat until the rice is hot and a little crisp.

4. Return the pork, add the peas, soy sauce, and sesame oil, and toss for 2 minutes. Finish with the scallions.

Notes

Day-old rice is the secret. Freshly cooked rice turns gummy.
