Step by Step Method
Step 1
Make sure you have all the ingredients for this stir-fried rice on hand before you begin cooking so the frying can proceed without interruption.
Step 2
To make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients and reserve.
Step 3
Place the cooked rice in a bowl. Using your hands, break up any lumps and reserve.
Step 4
If using fresh peas, pour the water into a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the peas and boil for 1 - 2 minutes or until they are tender. Drain and reserve. If using frozen peas, allow them to thaw, then drain well and reserve.
Step 5
In a bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and white pepper.
Step 6
Heat a wok over high heat for 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil and, using a spatula, coat the wok with the oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, add the beaten eggs and scramble with the spatula for about 1 1/2 minutes, or until medium-firm. Turn off the heat and transfer to a plate. Cut into small, coarse pieces, and reserve.
Step 7
Wash and dry the wok and spatula.
Step 8
Heat the wok over high heat for 20 seconds. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil and, using the spatula, coat the wok with the oil.
Step 9
When a wisp of white smoke appears, add the ginger and stir briefly. Then add the garlic and stir briefly.
Step 10
Add the shallots and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent.
Step 11
Add the peas, raise the heat to high, and stir and cook for 2 minutes, or until very hot. Add the rice, stir to mix, then lower the heat to medium, and stir and mix for 3 minutes, or until the rice is very hot.
Step 12
Raise the heat to high, stir the sauce, and drizzle it over the rice.
Step 13
Stir constantly for about 2 minutes, or until the rice is evenly coated with the sauce. Add the eggs and stir and mix for about 1 minute.
Step 14
Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary.
Step 15
Turn off the heat and add scallions and distribute evenly.
Step 16
Transfer to a heated dish, and serve.
