Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Crack 2 large eggs into the pan and scramble quickly, cooking for 1-2 minutes until just set. Remove eggs and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Add 1 tsp minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 small diced carrot and 1/2 cup frozen peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Add 3 cups chilled cooked jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing rice to heat through and slightly toast.
  5. Step 5: Return scrambled eggs to the pan along with 2 sliced green onions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until flavors meld and rice is evenly coated.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and serve warm as a quick, kid-friendly meal.
