Ingredients

• 3 cups Cold cooked jasmine rice
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium Carrot, diced
• 0.5 cup Peas, frozen
• 3 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Chicken or vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients. Dice the carrot, thinly slice the green onions, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt until fully combined.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and scramble gently until just set. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced carrot and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 7

Add the frozen peas to the skillet, and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the cold rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry the rice for about 3-4 minutes until it is heated through and starts to get crispy.

Step 9

Add the chicken or vegetable broth and fish sauce, stirring well to incorporate all flavors. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and gently fold them into the rice, cooking for another minute.

Step 11

Finish by adding lime juice and sprinkle with black pepper. Add the thinly sliced green onions, reserving a few for garnish if desired.

Step 12

Serve the fried rice hot, garnished with additional green onions if you wish.
