Ingredients

For 4 servings

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • salt — to taste
  • pepper — to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 2

    Combine the rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  3. 3

    While the rice is cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add the frozen peas to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  6. 6

    Push peas to the side of the pan and crack the eggs into the space. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then mix with peas.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked rice to the pan, stirring to combine with the garlic, peas, and eggs.

  8. 8

    Pour soy sauce over the rice mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir everything together until evenly coated.

  9. 9

    Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through. Serve hot.
