Gomoku Chahan

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil, divided
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2.8 ounces (80 grams or about 2/3 cup) ham , diced
• 2.8 ounces (80 grams or about 1/2 a small one) onion, diced
• 1.8 ounces (50 grams or about 1/2 a small one) carrot, quartered and thinly chopped
• 12 ounces (340 grams or about 2 1/2 cups) cooked short grain rice
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2.8 ounces (80 grams) frozen peas
• salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1
   Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat until very hot.
2. 2
   Add 1 tablespoon of oil and then the eggs, whisking vigorously to scramble and then break up the eggs. When they're cooked, transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
3. 3
   Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and then the ham, onions and carrots. Saute until the carrots are no longer crunchy.
4. 4
   Add the rice, crumbling the chunks as much as possible as you add it. Use a spatula to flatten the lumps and then toss the rice to ensure each grain of rice is separate.
5. 5
   When the rice starts making popping noises, add the white pepper and soy sauce and toss to distribute evenly.
6. 6
   Return the eggs and peas to the pan, using the spatula to break up the eggs and taste for salt, adding more salt to taste.
