Instructions
- 1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package directions, typically by combining with 300 ml water and a pinch of salt in a pot, bringing to a boil, then simmering covered for 15-18 minutes until water is absorbed. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables. Peel and finely dice the carrot and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until lightly scrambled. In another small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sugar until the sugar dissolves, creating your umami glaze.

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced carrots and onions and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and become fragrant.
- 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1 minute until aromatic, being careful not to burn it.
- 6
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side and scramble them gently for 1-2 minutes until just set but still moist. Break them into small pieces.
- 7
Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables and scrambled eggs. Pour the soy glaze over everything. Toss gently but thoroughly for 2-3 minutes to combine all ingredients and coat the rice evenly with the glaze.
