  4. Step 4: Add 1/2 cup thawed frozen peas and 3 sliced scallions, stirring to combine.
  5. Step 5: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1/4 tsp ground white pepper, and toss everything together for 1 minute until the rice is evenly coated and fragrant.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately.
