    Method

    1. Break up any clumps in the rice with your fingers.
    2. Heat a wok until very hot, add half the oil and the eggs. Scramble until just set, then push aside or lift out.
    3. Add the rest of the oil and the rice. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until hot and starting to toast.
    4. Add the peas, soy sauce, salt and white pepper and toss for 1 minute.
    5. Return the egg, add the spring onions and sesame oil and toss once more.
    Cook's tip: Freshly cooked rice turns mushy; spread it on a tray and chill it for an hour if you have no leftovers.
