Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

- Incorporate the diced carrots and frozen peas, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender and vibrant in color.
- Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating space for the eggs. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and let them sit for a few seconds before scrambling. Cook until fully set, then mix with the vegetables.

Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating cooked proteins such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- You can also personalize this dish by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli, depending on your preference.
- Using day-old rice is ideal as it has dried out a bit, making it less sticky and easier to stir-fry.
