### Thai Pork Fried Rice
#### Ingredients:
– 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
– 1/2 lb ground pork
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 carrot, peeled and diced
– 1/2 cup frozen peas
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 green onions, sliced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon fish sauce
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– Fresh cilantro for garnish
– Lime wedges for serving
#### Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
2. Add the ground pork to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Push the pork to one side of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the empty side. Add the minced garlic to the oil and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
4. Stir in the diced bell pepper, carrots, and peas. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
5. Add the chilled jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps as you stir-fry it with the vegetables and pork.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the rice mixture and stir until everything is well combined and coated in the sauce.
7. Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Allow the eggs to cook for a few seconds without stirring, then scramble them gently until just set.
8. Once the eggs are cooked, mix them into the rice mixture until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
10. Serve the Thai Pork Fried Rice hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
