Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the diced carrots, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the carrots are tender. Then add the frozen peas and cook for an additional minute.

Add the Rice
Add the cooked rice to the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and mix well with the vegetables.

Combine Chicken and Add Seasonings
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the rice and vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and mix everything thoroughly. Create a well in the center of the mixture.

Scramble the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the well you created in the rice mixture. Allow them to sit for about 30 seconds, then scramble them gently, mixing them into the rice until fully cooked.
