Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green onions and garlic. If using carrot, dice it into small cubes.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Step 3

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

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and scramble them gently until just set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 6

Add the chopped garlic and white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

If using, add the diced carrots and peas to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they are tender.

Step 8

Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine, breaking up any clumps of rice.

Step 9

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir evenly to coat the rice with the sauce.

Step 10

Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet, breaking them into smaller pieces as you mix them into the rice.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly.

Step 12

Sprinkle the green onion tops over the rice as garnish.

Serve the egg rice hot and enjoy!
