- When the wok is hot, add the oil and garlic and cook for 10 seconds.
- Add the chopped leek, carrot, and green peas and stir fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the rice and break it up with a spatula or rice paddle. Toss the rice until it’s warm and the grains have separated.
- Push the rice to one side of the wok and add the eggs to the other side (the empty side).

- Drizzle the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil and toss well to combine the flavors.
