Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and fold in the edamame and scallions, then the snap peas.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and chili powder. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes total.

Brush the pork with half the ketchup mixture and roast until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.

Transfer the pork to a cutting board, brush with the remaining ketchup mixture and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the rice and sprinkle with the sesame seeds, if desired.
