Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pour in 3 beaten large eggs and scramble gently until just set but still moist, about 1-2 minutes. Remove eggs and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add the remaining 2 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok and increase heat to high. Add 6 oz diced char siu pork and stir-fry for 2 minutes until edges begin to caramelize.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups day-old cooked jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps with the back of your spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated through and starting to crisp slightly.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup green peas and the reserved scrambled eggs, mixing thoroughly.
  5. Step 5: Season with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp white pepper, and drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil. Toss in 3 sliced green onions and stir-fry for 1 more minute until fragrant and combined.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a satisfying main or side dish.
