  • This dish comes together quickly, as long as everything is prepped ahead. First cook and chill the rice—short-grain works best, but any kind will do, even unpolished. It's ideal if the rice has spent some time in the fridge. Peel the onion and garlic, then mince the garlic however you like, or simply press it. Cut the onion into small cubes. Wash and peel the carrots and cut them into small cubes as well. Take the green peas out of the freezer; if they're icy, rinse them under cold water and spread them on paper towels to dry. Chop the washed and dried green onion into rings. Rinse the pork, pat it dry with paper towels, and cut it into small pieces—in this dish, small pieces of meat and vegetables taste especially good, so don't cut anything too large. Cubes of onion and carrot are best about the size of a pea. Set a large, deep skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter, and melt it. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Pour the eggs into the hot pan and cook a soft scramble—don't overcook them, so they stay tender. Stir as they cook, breaking them into large curds, then transfer the almost-done eggs to a plate and set aside. Turn up the heat a little and add another tablespoon of butter. Once it melts, add the pork. Fry, stirring occasionally, until browned. Add the minced garlic, stir, and cook another 1–2 minutes, then transfer to the plate. Add another tablespoon of butter to the pan, melt it, and add the carrot, onion, and green peas. Sauté over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, then move the vegetables to the plate with the meat. Add the remaining butter to the pan and let it melt. Add the chilled rice, spread it out, cook for a few minutes, then stir—this way the rice crisps slightly on the bottom. Stir well so all the rice is heated through. Add the meat and vegetables back in, along with any juices from the plate, and stir. Now add the scrambled eggs and green onion, drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkle in the sesame seeds. Stir until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust—add salt and a little more soy sauce if needed, and a touch more sesame oil if you like. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and stir again. The dish is ready! Serve it warm, garnishing each portion with freshly ground black pepper and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
