Step 1
Slice beef thinly against the grain, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and white pepper.
Step 2
Beat eggs in a small bowl. Mince garlic and ginger. Dice carrots and slice green onions.
Step 3
Heat a 14-inch wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and swirl to coat. Add beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add remaining 2 tbsp oil to the wok. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just cooked, then push to the side.
Step 5
Add garlic and ginger to the empty side of the wok, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add carrots and peas, stir-fry for 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 7
Add chilled rice, breaking up any clumps with the spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, constantly moving rice to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Return beef and eggs to the wok. Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Step 9
Stir in most of the green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or white pepper if needed. Serve immediately, topped with remaining green onions.
