Method
Preparation
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and dice the carrots into small cubes. Chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops. Rinse the green peas if using frozen.
Prepare the Rice
Ensure the cooked rice is cold and separated to prevent clumping. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool.
Cooking
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cook the Vegetables
Add the diced carrots and the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the carrots start to soften.
Add Rice and Peas
Add the cooked rice and green peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and well combined.
Season the Rice
Pour in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for 1-2 minutes.
Finish with Eggs and Green Onions
Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet along with the green tops of the green onions. Mix everything together and cook for an additional minute.
Serve
Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your simple fried rice!
