Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the diced carrots to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, pour in the beaten eggs, and stir gently to scramble.
Once the eggs are nearly cooked, mix them with the vegetables in the skillet.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and increase the heat to high. Add the cooked jasmine rice.
Drizzle the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice.
Stir-fry the rice by tossing and turning it in the skillet, using a spatula, for about 3-4 minutes to ensure everything is well mixed and heated through.
Add the thawed peas and sliced green onions to the rice mixture. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the garlic fried rice hot as a main dish or a side and enjoy the savory, aromatic flavors.
