Ingredients

• Jasmine rice - 150 grams
• Water - 300 ml
• Eggs - 2 large
• Carrot - 50 grams, diced
• Green bell pepper - 50 grams, diced
• Spring onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon for frying

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it for 20 minutes.
2. In a pot, combine the soaked rice with 300 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
3. While the rice is cooking, heat vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and green bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they are tender.
4. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
5. Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well.
6. To serve, place a portion of the seasoned rice on a plate, top with the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture, and garnish with chopped spring onions.
