Step-by-step
- Crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat up a bit of oil over high heat and scramble your eggs until mostly set, but still slightly runny. The eggs will cook a bit more when you fry all the ingredients together.
- Remove and set aside.
- If the skillet is dry, add a tiny bit more oil and then add the pulled pork. Fry over medium high until crispy and hot.
- Add the rice and fry, stirring occasionally and breaking up the rice until the rice is crispy and heated through.
- Add the eggs, peas, and sliced jalapeños into the skillet and fry and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with sriracha, if desired.
