The method

Step by step

1
Heat the sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Ensure your wok is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
2
Add the onion and carrot to the hot wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
About 4 min
3
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4
Add the frozen peas and cooked rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps of rice with your spatula.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Using day-old, cold rice prevents it from clumping and becoming mushy.
5
Pour the soy sauce over the rice and vegetables. Continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Keep the ingredients moving in the wok for even cooking and to develop flavor.

Remove from heat and garnish with the sliced scallions before serving.
