3 tablespoons safflower oil
2 links Chinese-style sausage, such as Kam Yen Jan (available at amazon.com), cut into 1/4-inch coins
1 bunch scallions (about 10), thinly sliced, white and light-green bottoms separated from dark-green tops
2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (2/3 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic (from 5 cloves)
2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
3 large eggs, cracked into a bowl
3 cups cooked rice
2/3 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably low-sodium

Steps:

Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high until very hot, about 2 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add sausage, scallion white and light-green parts, and carrots; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until golden in places, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Push vegetables to one side of skillet. Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil into other; add eggs and scramble with a fork until just set but still moist, about 30 seconds. Add rice; stir to combine everything, then cook, stirring often and scraping bottom of pan, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in peas and soy sauce; cook about 30 seconds more. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper and stir in scallion greens; serve.
