Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Scramble the eggs until cooked. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the carrots and peas for 2-3 minutes until tender.
Add the garlic and green onions and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry 2-3 minutes.
Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and toss to coat.

Notes

Cold, day-old rice fries best because the grains stay separate.
