Method

  1. 1

    Finely dice the carrot into small cubes and slice the spring onion, keeping the green tops separate. Crack both eggs into a small bowl and beat well with a pinch of salt and white pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a wok or non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the diced carrot and stir-fry for 2 minutes until just tender, then add the frozen peas and cook for 1 minute more.

  3. 3

    Push the vegetables to the side of the pan, pour in the beaten eggs, and scramble them until just set but still slightly soft — about 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the day-old rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Toss everything together over high heat for 2 minutes until the rice is heated through and lightly toasted.

  5. 5

    Drizzle in the tamari and toss well to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning. Scatter the spring onion greens over the top.

  6. 6

    Allow the fried rice to cool completely before packing into Ria's tiffin box. It keeps well at room temperature for up to 4 hours.
