2 cups water
⅛ teaspoon salt
¾ cup parboiled long-grain white rice (such as Uncle Ben's®)
½ cup carrots, diced
2 tablespoons tamari
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 pound ground pork
½ cup frozen peas
½ cup diced green onion
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

Pour cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium and whisk until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and pour sauce into a deep serving dish.
