Fried Rice with Eggs, Peas, and Carrots

Serves 4

Ingredients:
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon ginger
4 cloves garlic
1 small onion
2 cups cooked rice
1 package (10-12 ounces) frozen green peas and carrots
soy sauce, to taste

1. Scramble eggs in a nonstick skillet with a few drops of oil. Add pepper if desired and/or cayenne pepper if you like a little spice. Pour in a bowl and set aside.
2. Cook ginger, garlic and onion in skillet until they are translucent or just starting to brown. Add the cooked rice. Break up any lumps and cook until very hot and some rice begins to form crunchy bits, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the peas and carrots. Cook until hot, then stir in the eggs. Serve with soy sauce. (I also added some garlic powder and rosemary.)
