Preparation method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well
- Add the beaten eggs to the hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, until they begin to set, but without overcooking, as they will need more heat later with the rice
- Season the cooked eggs with salt and set aside
- In another pan, heat the remaining oil and add the chopped green onions, stirring for a few moments
- Add the cooked cold rice to the pan, stirring quickly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, if using
- Incorporate the diced ham and the peas, heating everything through and stirring continuously
- Break the reserved cooked eggs into small pieces
- Add the egg pieces to the rice and mix well, heating until all ingredients are well combined and hot
