Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the diced carrots, garlic, and ginger, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the carrots start to soften.

Add the frozen peas and scallions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.

Add the chilled rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps and mixing well with the vegetables.

Pour in the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar, stirring to combine everything evenly for about 2 minutes.

Finally, fold in the scrambled eggs, mixing gently until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve hot, garnished with extra scallions if desired. Enjoy your homemade fried rice!
