2.Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3.Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set but still soft. Remove eggs from the wok and set aside.

5.Add the peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

7.Return the scrambled eggs to the wok and mix thoroughly with the rice and vegetables.

8.Add soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

9.Add sliced green onions and toss everything together for another minute.
