1

In a medium bowl, stir together the pork, soy sauce, and vinegar.

In a nonstick wok or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high heat for about 1 minute, or until very hot, swirling to coat the bottom.
4

5
Stir in the peas and rice.
6
If using cold rice, add the broth.

(Hot, moist rice wont need liquid.)
8
Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the rice.
9
Stir in the pork mixture.

Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until all the ingredients are heated through, stirring occasionally.
