Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat neutral oil in a wide skillet. Cook carrot for 4 minutes, add peas and cook for 3 minutes.
  2. Push vegetables to one side and scramble eggs on the other until firm and 71°C/160°F. Add rice and spread it out.
  3. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil and spring onions.
A little note

The listed rice is already cooked; allow extra time if cooking it from dry.

Cooking tips

  • Break up rice clumps before adding them so the grains heat evenly in the skillet.
  • Use a wide pan and avoid crowding; spread rice against the surface between stirs to help it crisp.
