Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
⅓ cup diced carrots
¼ cup sliced green onions, white and lighter green parts
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
3 cups cooked rice, cooled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
½ cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons butter
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sriracha mayonnaise (Kikkoman)
1 tablespoon sliced green onions, or to taste

Steps:

Heat canola and sesame oils in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot and 1/4 cup green onion; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic powder and ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in rice, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring only once or twice, until rice is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and peas; cook for 2 minutes.
Push rice mixture to the sides of the pan, creating a circle in the middle. Add butter to the center of the pan. When melted, pour eggs into the center. Cook eggs, stirring often, until almost set, about 3 minutes. Stir eggs into the rice mixture. Stir in soy sauce and rice vinegar; cook for 2 more minutes.
Serve immediately topped with Sriracha mayo and green onions.
