Steps

• Cook the Rice
• Cook the rice according to the package instructions. It's best to use day-old rice as it is drier and less sticky.

• Beat the eggs in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble them until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Stir-Fry the Vegetables
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• Add the diced carrots and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the frozen peas and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Combine Everything
• Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine.
• Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice and vegetables. Stir again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
• Add the scrambled eggs back to the skillet and stir to incorporate.
• Serve and Enjoy
• Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the fried rice to serving plates.
• Garnish with additional chopped green onions, if desired.
• Serve hot and enjoy!
