Method
- Cook the rice in a large pan of boiling water following the packet instruction. Drain, then spread out on a large baking tray and allow to cool.
- While the rice is cooking, mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Add the pork and stir well to mix.
- Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a wok over a high heat. Cook the pork for 2-3 minutes until golden all over. Remove and set aside until needed.
- In the same wok, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over a high heat. Fry the garlic, ginger and carrots. Sprinkle in 1 tbsp water to create some steam to help cook the carrots. When the carrots are slightly softened, add the onion and stir-fry until golden on the edges.
- Add the cooled rice to the wok, along with the pork, sugar, pepper, salt, light soy sauce and remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and turn the rice over once in a while until it is piping hot. Stir in the spring onions.
- Meanwhile, if you like, fry 4 eggs how you like them. Drizzle a little light soy sauce around the edge of each egg.
- Serve the rice in bowls while piping hot, with a fried egg on top (if using).
