12 oz ground pork

Cook Time: 15 min, Total Time: 30 min
Step 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.
Step 2
Add the remaining oil and the eggs to the skillet and scramble until just set, about 1 minute.
Step 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.
Step 4
Return the pork, add the peas, soy sauce, and sesame oil, and toss for 2 minutes. Finish with the scallions.
