Instructions
- Add the oil and butter to a large non-stick skillet (or wok). Add the beaten eggs the pan.
- Gently and slowly stir the eggs with a rubber spatula to make fluffy scrambled eggs. Fold the eggs within themselves. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt over the eggs and continue to fold the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes. When the eggs are mostly cooked, it should look custard-like.
- Add the cold rice into the skillet and use your spatula to chop through the rice to combine it with the scrambled eggs and separate clumps of rice.
- Add the green onions, frozen peas, and 1 teaspoon of salt and continue to toss to combine and cook until the rice and peas are warmed through, around 3 minutes.
- Leave the rice in the skillet for a couple of extra minutes with the heat turned off if you’d like slightly crispier rice or serve immediately.
