Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Add eggs and scramble, then break up scrambled eggs into small pieces. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Heat remaining oil in skillet; add peas and carrots and cook 3 minutes. Add rice and soy sauce and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until heated through, stirring frequently. Stir in scrambled egg pieces and cook 1 to 2 additional minutes, or until heated through. Serve immediately.

Notes:
This is a great dish to make when you have leftover rice, or the next time you make rice, just make extra so you'll have some ready to go for this dish. If you would like a healthier version of this recipe, try using brown rice instead of white rice.
