Steps

1. Step 1

   Thoroughly wash and rinse the rice until the water runs clean. 

2. Step 2

   Transfer to a large shallow pot and cover rice with water by approximately 2 inches. Bring water to a boil and cover. Allow rice to cook for 2-4 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Uncover and taste the rice to see if it is cooked (all the water will not be absorbed- that’s ok). When rice is cooked, but not mushy (think al dente), immediately remove from heat, drain, and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside to drain.

4. Step 4

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes. Add the shredded carrots to the shallots and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Add the Thai red chili, garlic, and fresh ginger to the shallots and carrots and stir to combine. Cook for one minute.

6. Step 6

   Reduce heat to medium. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, green onion, and cooked rice to the skillet. Thoroughly mix to combine.

7. Step 7

   For the eggs- either scramble together with the rice mixture or fry eggs on the side.

8. Step 8

   Serve rice garnished with chopped peanuts, mung bean sprouts, and fresh chopped cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
