Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Beat 2 large eggs lightly and pour into the skillet, scrambling gently until just cooked but still soft, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer eggs to a plate.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add 1 medium diced carrot and 1/2 cup frozen peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender and heated through.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups cold cooked white rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated through and starting to brown slightly.
  4. Step 4: Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and add 2 sliced green onions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir everything together for 1-2 minutes until well combined and fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and serve the veggie fried rice warm.
