- 2 teaspoons oil I use peanut oil.
- 2 eggs for scrambled eggs

- 5 g chopped vegetable leaves I use bok choy.
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place your rice in a bowl and crack an egg on top. Mix the rice and egg with your hands, making sure the rice grains are well-separated and become yellowish throughout.
- Prepare your ingredients. Beat two eggs and chop the meat and vegetables.
- Heat oil in a pan, pour the beaten eggs, and cook until fluffy. Mix in the diced ham and carrots and stir well.
