Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add ground pork and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and scallions. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.
Step 4
Mix the cooked pork into 1 cup of the sticky rice until evenly combined.
Step 5
Wet your hands lightly. Scoop 2 tbsp of pork-rice mixture into your palm, flatten it, then fold edges to seal into a ball.
Step 6
Return skillet to medium-high. Fry balls, turning often, until edges turn golden and crispy, about 3 minutes total.
Step 7
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce and cherry tomatoes on the side.
