Ingredients

• Jasmine rice - 150 grams
• Fish roe (salmon or cod) - 100 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Carrot - 50 grams, diced
• Green peas - 50 grams
• Spring onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• White pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, ideally a few hours in advance or the day before, and let it cool.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the diced carrots and green peas to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
5. Add the cooled rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through.
6. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
7. Gently fold in the fish roe and half of the chopped spring onions, cooking for another minute until the roe is warmed through.
8. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining spring onions.
