Step 1
Ensure rice is chilled and broken into individual grains. Dice pork into small, bite-sized cubes. Mince onion and dice carrot into small pieces.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook pork until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add remaining 2 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add onion and carrot, stir-fry for 2 minutes until softened. Add peas and corn, cook for 1 minute.
Step 4
Push vegetables to the side. Pour beaten eggs into the empty space, scramble until just set, then mix with vegetables.
Step 5
Add chilled rice and break up any clumps. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 6
Return pork to the skillet. Add soy sauce, mirin, salt, and white pepper. Toss everything together for 1 minute.
Step 7
Transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with ketchup and mayonnaise in a crosshatch pattern. Garnish with green onion and serve hot.
