- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients: Finely chop the green onions and garlic. Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
Step 3
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Scramble until just set, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the frozen peas and carrots to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and add the cold, cooked rice to the skillet. Stir frequently for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any clumps.
Step 7
Drizzle in the soy sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to evenly coat the rice in the sauce.
Step 8
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Add the chopped green onions and mix everything together gently but thoroughly.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the fried rice in bowls or on plates while warm.
