Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and soak in water for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain the rice again.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium pot, add the soaked rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool.

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the rice is cooling, prepare your vegetables. Slice the carrots and chop the green onions.

   Scramble the Eggs

   In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

   Stir-Fry the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the diced carrots and green peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the cooled rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, then add the scrambled eggs and chopped green onions.
