Golden curds of scrambled egg, sweet peas and carrots, and day-old rice get tossed together in a screaming-hot wok until every grain turns separate, glossy, and lightly toasted. Garlic and scallion whites build the savory base, while a finishing drizzle of sesame oil and a dust of white pepper give it that unmistakable takeout-style aroma. Pressing the rice against the hot surface before tossing is the trick that gets those little crisp, chewy edges throughout instead of just a soft, steamed texture. Scallion greens scattered over the top at the end add a fresh, sharp bite that cuts through the richness of the eggs and oil. The whole thing comes together in the time it takes rice to reheat, making it an easy way to turn leftovers into a full meal. It's a solid pick for a soy free kitchen, and it holds up well as a base you can dress up with whatever protein or vegetables you have on hand.

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/4 tsp of the salt until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Heat a large wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add 1 tbsp of the oil and swirl to coat. Pour in the eggs and let them sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds until the edges begin to set, then scramble into large, soft curds, about 30 seconds total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
