Instructions

1PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS: Cut the carrots into small, uniform dice about 0.5 cm so they cook quickly and evenly. Finely mince the onion and garlic. Beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt. If using cold rice straight from the refrigerator, gently break up the grains with your fingers to separate any clumped rice, which will ensure even stir-frying.
2COOK THE EGGS: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a wok or large skillet. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir quickly with a spatula until just cooked but still slightly runny, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a plate.
3STIR-FRY THE VEGETABLES: Pour the remaining tablespoon of oil into the hot wok. Add the minced onion and garlic, letting them perfume for 30 seconds while stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the diced carrots and stir-fry over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the frozen peas. Continue stirring to ensure even cooking.
4ADD THE RICE: Pour the broken-up rice into the wok and stir vigorously to combine it well with the vegetables. The heat from the wok will warm the rice in 2 to 3 minutes. Break up any small clumps of rice with the back of your spatula to ensure a fluffy, well-separated texture.
5SEASON AND FINISH: Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix well for 1 minute so the flavor distributes evenly and the grains take on a light golden tint. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference. Return the reserved eggs, tossing gently to avoid breaking them up, then transfer to a hot serving dish.
