To prepare the vegetables and rice

In a large 12" skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add leeks and ginger - stir-fry until leeks begin to soften, about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Stir in snow peas to coat. Add rice wine - stir-fry until snow peas are crisp-tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add rice and pork - cook, stirring frequently until thoroughly heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in seasoning liquid, tossing well to coat evenly.
