  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all your ingredients and prepare them: mince the garlic, grate the carrot, chop the snow peas, and beat the eggs.

    Use well-cooled cooked rice to prevent it from becoming sticky.

  2. Cook the Eggs

    Heat a pan over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add the beaten eggs and cook while stirring until scrambled. Remove from the pan and set aside.

    Do not overcook the eggs; they should still be tender.

  3. Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the remaining oil to the pan. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the snow peas and carrot. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

    Cook on high heat to keep the vegetables crunchy.

  4. Incorporate the Rice

    Add the cooked rice to the vegetables in the pan. Mix well to reheat the rice and infuse it with flavors.

    Use a spatula to thoroughly separate the rice grains.

  5. Season

    Pour the soy sauce over the rice and mix well. Then incorporate the scrambled eggs and green onions.

    Add more soy sauce if you prefer a stronger taste.

  6. Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

    Serve with a pinch of black pepper for a spicy touch.
