Instructions
-
Prepare the ingredients
Break up the rice in its pouch. Beat the eggs, grate the ginger and slice the scallions.
-
Scramble
Heat the neutral oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and stir for 1–2 minutes until fully set. Transfer to a clean plate.
-
Fry the rice
Add the ginger and scallion whites to the skillet. Stir for 30 seconds, then add the rice, peas and soy sauce. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon water if needed. Follow any longer rice-package heating time.
-
Finish
Return the eggs, add sesame oil and toss for 1 minute. Check the mixture reaches 165°F / 74°C, then scatter over the scallion greens.
