Step 1
Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk with a pinch of salt until yolks are fully combined.
Step 2
Break up rice with a fork until no clumps remain — the drier the rice, the fluffier the result.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking.
Step 4
Pour in eggs and scramble until set, breaking into small bits, then slide onto a plate.
Step 5
Add garlic and ginger to the empty skillet and stir until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 6
Add rice in two batches, stirring constantly, breaking up clumps against the pan sides.
Step 7
Pour in soy sauce and toss until rice is evenly coated and slightly golden.
Step 8
Stir in peas and carrots, cooking until heated through, ~2 minutes.
Step 9
Return eggs to the skillet, drizzle sesame oil, and toss gently to combine.
Step 10
Top with green onion and serve immediately.
