Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sambal oelek
  • 3 scallion whites chopped
  • 3 medium garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup carrots and peas (your choice of veggies)
  • salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a wok over high heat until lightly smoking. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Add half of rice and cook, stirring and tossing, until the rice is pale brown and toasted and has a lightly chewy texture, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with another 1/2 tablespoon oil and remaining rice. Keep the rice aside for now.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon (7ml) oil to the space. Add scallions, carrot, peas, and garlic and cook, stirring gently, until lightly softened and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Toss in the rice to combine; add soy sauce, sambal oelek and season to taste with salt.
  • Push rice to the side of the wok and add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Break the eggs into the oil and season with a little salt and pepper. Use a spatula to scramble the eggs, breaking it up into small bits. Toss the eggs and the rice together.
  • Serve immediately!
