Method
Preparation
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with ⅛ teaspoon of the salt until well combined.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Spread cooked rice onto the baking sheet and allow it to dry at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
- Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a flat-bottomed wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beaten eggs and cook until just scrambled, about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a large plate.
- In the same skillet, add 2 more teaspoons of vegetable oil and reduce heat to medium. Toss in the diced carrot and ⅛ teaspoon of salt, cooking for about 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
- Transfer carrots to the plate with eggs.
- In the same skillet, add the light green parts of the scallions and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet, mixing well with the scallions and garlic. Spread it into a single layer.
- Sprinkle black pepper and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt over rice. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through.
- Stir in thawed peas, the egg and carrot mixture, dark green scallion parts, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.
Notes
Use day-old rice for better texture. Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding ingredients for perfect frying. Variations can include additional proteins or vegetables.
