• 2 medium carrots
• 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 medium bell pepper (red, yellow, or green)
• 4 stalks green onions
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the ingredients: finely dice the carrots, bell pepper, and green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Have all ingredients ready to work quickly during cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Crack the eggs into the pan and scramble them using a spatula. Once cooked, remove the scrambled eggs and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced carrots, peas, and bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooked white rice to the other side.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Stir everything together to combine, mixing the rice evenly with the vegetables.

Step 8

Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan, breaking them into smaller pieces as you mix.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the green onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the fried white rice with vegetables hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired. Enjoy!
