Chef's tip: Use day-old rice if you have it; it fries up drier and less sticky. If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a plate to cool for a few minutes before frying.

Chef's tip: Keep the heat high when stir-frying the rice to get a slight char without making it mushy.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a small pot, combine the rice and 160 ml water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 2 minutes. The rice should be tender and all liquid absorbed.

    ~12 min
  2. 2

    While step 1 cooks

    While the rice cooks, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white and green parts.

    ~3 min
  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully set and no longer runny, about 1 minute. Transfer the eggs to a plate.

    ~1 min
  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the cooked rice, peas, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the rice is hot and slightly toasted.

    ~2 min
  5. 5

    Add the soy sauce and the scrambled eggs back to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1 minute until well combined and heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    ~1 min
  6. 6

    Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the scallions. Serve hot.
