Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: make sure the jasmine rice is cooked and cooled, the heart of palm is shredded, and all vegetables are chopped and ready to use.
In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots and cook for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the shredded heart of palm and green peas to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooked rice. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice and gently mix everything together.
Add the scrambled eggs back into the pan, along with the salt and black pepper. Toss the mixture until evenly combined.
Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for another minute.
