Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 eggs whisked
1 pound ground beef 80/20
4 tablespoons sesame oil
2 medium carrots peeled and diced into small 1/2 inch cubes
4 cloves garlic minced
5 green onions diced
4 cups rice (cooked, cooled, and refrigerated at least four hours)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Add the eggs. Using a spatula, scrape from the outsides to the center, flipping them as you cook them. Cook until just done, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm. (If the skillet has a lot of residual eggs, clean it and then return it to the heat.)
3 eggs
Over medium heat, add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Once it has browned, drain the excess grease. I like to do this by putting a lid on the skillet, slightly ajar, and draining it into an old pickle jar.
1 pound ground beef
Add the sesame oil to the skillet, then add in the carrots and garlic, cooking until the carrots are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. When the carrots have about a minute left to cook, add in the green onions.
2 medium carrots, 4 cloves garlic, 5 green onions, 4 tablespoons sesame oil
Add the rice and toss to fully coat it in the oil, breaking up any chunks. Then stir in the reserved eggs and soy sauce.
4 cups rice, 1/4 cup soy sauce
Remove from the heat and stir in the frozen peas. If you stir in the peas as soon as you turn off the heat, the heat of the dish will thaw them perfectly.
1 cup frozen peas
