Step-by-step recipe for spicy fried rice

• If you are using freshly cooked rice, let it cool until it becomes crumbly. Cut the vegetables into small pieces for even frying.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork. Heat a little vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Pour the beaten eggs and fry them until done, stirring constantly. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Heat sesame oil in the same pan. Add garlic and ginger, fry for about 30 seconds to release the aroma. Put in chopped onion, carrot and bell pepper. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add green peas and stir.
• Put rice in the pan. Pour soy sauce and hot sauce over it, mix thoroughly. Season with red ground pepper (to taste).
• Return the fried eggs to the pan. Stir all the ingredients so that they are evenly distributed. Fry for another 2-3 minutes.
• Place the finished spicy fried rice on a plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
