Servings: 5 people

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium carrots diced
- 1 pound chicken breasts diced small
- 3 eggs whisked
- 5 green onions diced
- 4 cups rice (cooked, cooled, and refrigerated at least four hours)
- 3 - 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over high heat. Add oil and heat until smoking.
- Cook the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the carrots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add in the chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5 mintues.
- Move the chicken and carrots to one side of the skillet. Pour in the eggs to the empty side of the skillet. Using a spatula, scrape from the outsides to the center, flipping them as you cook them. Cook until just done and then mix all the ingredients together.
- At this point you may need to add a little more oil. If you do, add only a teaspoon or two.
- Add in the green onions and garlic to the pan, stirring well. Cook for about thirty seconds. Stir in the rice, coating it completely. Stir in the frozen peas, and soy sauce and cook for another minute until the peas are just thawed (they cook quickly just from the heat of the dish). Taste and add more soy sauce to taste (my family needed about 4 1/2 tablespoons to fall in love).
