Begin by heating vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the carrots and peas, sautéing them for a few minutes until they soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the eggs into the empty space. Scramble them gently until fully cooked, then mix with the veggies.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Pour in the soy sauce and stir everything together for about 5 minutes, letting the rice get slightly crispy.
Finally, sprinkle chopped green onions over the rice, give it a final mix, and serve hot. Enjoy this homemade version of a classic dish!
