Prepare white rice in advance and allow it to cool completely, preferably overnight, to prevent it from becoming mushy during frying.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until fully cooked. Break the eggs into small pieces using a spatula, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly softened.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooled cooked rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
Drizzle the gluten-free soy sauce (tamari) and sesame oil over the rice. Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper, and stir well to evenly coat the rice.
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and add the sliced scallions. Stir fry for 1-2 more minutes to incorporate everything together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Gluten-Free White Fried Rice!
