Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack 3 large eggs into the pan and scramble gently for 2-3 minutes until softly set but still moist. Transfer eggs to a plate and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 2 tbsp vegetable oil to the same skillet and heat until shimmering. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups cold cooked jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until rice is heated through and starting to brown slightly.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup frozen peas and cook for 2 minutes until peas are tender. Return scrambled eggs to the skillet along with 3 thinly sliced scallions.
  5. Step 5: Pour 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil over the rice mixture, tossing well to combine. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Cook for an additional 1 minute until everything is evenly coated and aromatic.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a flavorful side or main dish.
