Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice (day-old, if possible)
• 1 cup Shelled edamame
• 1 medium Carrot (diced)
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or neutral oil like canola)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients before you begin cooking: dice the carrot, slice the green onions, and set aside measured peas, edamame, and rice.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high 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 and heat. Toss in the minced garlic and diced carrot, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the carrot softens slightly.

Step 5

Add the shelled edamame and frozen peas, cooking for 2 more minutes until heated through.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the cooked rice to the center. Stir and toss for 2-3 minutes to eliminate clumps and heat the rice.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together to evenly distribute the sauce.

Step 8

Add the scrambled eggs back to the skillet along with the sliced green onions. Stir everything to combine.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then cook for 1 additional minute.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve warm. Garnish with extra sliced green onions, if desired.
