Preparation method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them well.
- Add the beaten eggs to the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, until they start to set but are not fully cooked through, as they will need more heat later with the rice.
- Season the cooked eggs with salt and set them aside.
- In another pan, heat the remaining oil and add the chopped green onions, stirring for a few moments.
- Add the cold cooked rice to the pan, stirring quickly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce if you are using it.
- Incorporate the diced ham and the peas, stirring continuously to heat everything through.
- Break the reserved cooked eggs into smaller pieces.
- Add the egg pieces to the rice and mix well, heating until all ingredients are fully integrated and piping hot.
