Ingredients

• 3 cups Jasmine rice (cold, previously cooked)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 medium Carrot (diced)
• 1 cup Green peas (frozen and thawed)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (diced)
• 3 units Eggs (beaten)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 2 units Green onions (sliced)
• 4 units Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients beforehand to ensure a smooth cooking process. Chop the onions, mince the garlic, dice the carrots and red bell pepper, and slice the green onions.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, green peas, and diced red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty space.

Step 6

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them set slightly and then scramble them gently until they are just cooked through.

Step 7

Integrate the scrambled eggs with the vegetables by stirring them together gently.

Step 8

Add the cold cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spatula. Mix everything together thoroughly.

Step 9

Season the rice with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of white pepper, and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the seasoning across the rice.

Step 10

Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well-combined and the rice is heated through.

Step 11

Remove the pan from heat, add the sliced green onions, and gently mix them into the fried rice.

Step 12

Serve the fried rice hot, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
