Heat a wok over high heat and add some oil.

Add chopped garlic, carrots, and onions to the wok and stir.

Break up the garlic so it’s not in big chunks.

Add salt and pepper to the vegetables.

Add peas to the wok and stir everything together.

Add cooked brown rice to the wok and mix well with the vegetables.

Let the rice cook for about five minutes on high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add sesame oil, ponzu, and soy sauce to the rice mixture and stir to combine.

Make a well in the rice and add the eggs, letting them cook without mixing for a bit.

Stir the eggs into the rice mixture gradually, incorporating them as they cook.

Continue cooking until the moisture is gone and the rice stops steaming.

Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds before serving.
