Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 0.5 cups frozen peas
• 2 stalks green onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients by mincing the garlic, dicing the carrot, slicing the green onions, and gathering the seasonings.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into the skillet, scramble them, and cook until just set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the diced carrot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, frozen peas, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the peas are heated through.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula or spoon.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to evenly coat the rice. Continue to stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.

Step 8

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, breaking them up into small pieces as you mix them into the rice.

Step 9

Season with ground black pepper and taste, adjusting with more soy sauce if desired.

Step 10

Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions and serve immediately.
