Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter, divided

2 large eggs, whisked

2 medium carrots, peeled and diced

1 small white onion, diced

1/2 cup frozen peas

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups cooked and chilled rice (preferably day-old)

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or to taste)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Scramble the Eggs

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Add the whisked eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and fully cooked.

Transfer the eggs to a separate plate and set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of butter.

Add the diced carrots and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Add the peas and minced garlic, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Fry the Rice

Increase the heat to medium-high.

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and the chilled rice. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.

Let the rice cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop a slightly crispy texture.

Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan and mix well.
