Step 1

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and salt, and cook until they're starting to soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the rice, peas, and sesame oil. Cook for about 4 minutes, until the rice is heated through and starting to get crispy, and be sure not to stir the rice more than once or twice.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Step 4

Push the contents of the skillet to one side and pour the egg mixture into the empty space. Immediately start stirring the egg with a spatula on that side of the skillet until small curdles form. Then combine the rice with the egg.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Cook for 1 more minute.

Step 6

Garnish with sesame seeds before serving, if desired.
