Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 cup green peas
  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 1 chopped onion
  • ½ tsp grated ginger
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onion for serving

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing the rice under cold water until the water is clear. Then, cook it in boiling water with a little salt for about 15 minutes. You want the rice to be cooked but not too soft.
  • Heat some sesame oil over medium heat in a large frying pan or wok. Add chopped carrots and onions, and cook them until they soften, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Next, add the cooked rice to the pan. Stir everything together, letting the rice fry a bit, and mix with the vegetables for another 2 minutes.
  • Push the rice to the sides of the pan to make a hole in the center. Pour beaten eggs into the center. Let them sit briefly to start setting, then mix everything together. Keep stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and mixed with the rice.
  • Add green peas to the pan and mix everything well. Cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Mix in some freshly grated ginger for flavor.
  • Your fried rice is ready to eat. You can add some chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a bit of soy sauce on top for extra taste.
