Preparation

  1. 3 mins

    Heat a medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently for 3-4 minutes until just set, stirring frequently.

  2. Transfer eggs to a plate, chop coarsely, and set aside.

  3. 3 mins

    In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, toast the rice over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until lightly golden and fragrant. (This blooming step awakens the rice's nutty aromatics - don't skip it even without oil.)

  4. Add the broth, garlic powder, and diced carrots. Bring to a vigorous boil.

  5. 15 mins

    Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.

  6. 5 mins

    Scatter the scallions and frozen peas over the rice without stirring. Cover and cook 5 minutes more until rice is tender and most liquid is absorbed.

  7. 1 min

    Gently fold in the reserved scrambled eggs and heat through for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
