Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cup White Onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
  • ½ cup Carrots, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 large Eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup Peas, frozen, defrosted
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon White Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the uncooked rice under running water until the water runs clear.
  • In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and let it simmer until the rice is tender, about 10-15 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and let it cool completely.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and stir-fry the cooled rice for about 5 minutes.
  • Make a well in the center of the wok. Add the remaining oil, onion, garlic, and carrots. Stir-fry for 1 minute until the vegetables slightly soften.
  • Create another well in the rice mixture. Add sesame oil and beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs directly in the pan, then mix with the rice.
  • Add soy sauce, peas, salt, and white pepper. Stir and cook until heated through.
  • Garnish the finished dish with green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice to reduce stickiness.
  • Adjust seasoning based on personal preference.
