Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked Long-Grain Jasmine Rice
  • 2 tbsp Peanut Oil
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Carrots
  • 1/2 cup Green Peas
  • 3 Spring Onions
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp White Pepper
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil

Equipment

  • Wok
  • Wide Spatula
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Break up cold rice with clean hands to remove clumps.
  2. Heat wok over high heat until faint smoke appears. Add peanut oil and swirl to coat.
  3. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Push to one side of the wok.
  4. Add garlic and white parts of spring onions, stirring for 10 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add carrots and peas. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Add rice and spread evenly across the wok. Let it sit for 20 seconds to sear slightly.
  7. Toss rice with vegetables and eggs, stir-frying for 2 minutes until hot and dry.
  8. Add light soy sauce, salt, and white pepper. Toss quickly to coat evenly.
  9. Finish with sesame oil and spring onion greens. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Day-old, cold rice is essential; fresh rice has too much moisture and will turn mushy.
