- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Prepare all ingredients by mincing the garlic cloves, dicing the carrot, and slicing the green onions thinly.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and diced carrot to the skillet, and sauté for about 2 minutes, until the carrot starts to soften.

Add the cold cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Step 6
Add the frozen peas and two tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, stirring to ensure even distribution.

Increase the heat to medium-high and stir-fry the rice for about 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through and slightly browned.
Step 8
Season the rice with ground black pepper and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 9
Finish the dish by drizzling sesame oil over the rice and stirring in the sliced green onions.
Step 10
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
