1
Cut the chashu into ¼-inch-thick slices.

Cut the slices into ¼-inch-wide strips, then into small cubes.
3
Slice the white part of the green onions into thin rounds and cut the green part diagonally; keep them separated.
4
Beat the 2 large eggs together in a small bowl.
5
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp oil, and swirl to coat all sides evenly.
6
When you see smoke rising from the side of the wok, pour in the beaten egg.
7
Stir the egg with a wooden spatula a few times.
8
Once the egg is fluffy on the edges but still runny in the middle, transfer it to a plate.
9
Add the chashu cubes and stir-fry for about 1–2 minutes to render the fat from the pork belly.
10
Add the white parts of the green onions and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
11
Add the 3 bowls of cooked rice and break it apart with the wooden spatula.
12
Add the cooked egg and break it into smaller pieces while stir-frying.
13
Once the rice and ingredients are evenly mixed, add the 2 tsp soy sauce and ¼ tsp salt.
14
Add the ⅛ tsp white pepper and drizzle the 1 tsp sesame oil.
15
Add the green parts of the green onions (reserving some for garnish) and quickly toss everything together.
16
Fill a rice bowl all the way to the top with the fried rice and press gently with the spatula.
17
Flip the rice bowl onto the serving plate to release the fried rice.
18
Sprinkle with green onion garnish and serve immediately.
