Instructions: Finely chop enough scallions to measure about 2 cups and coarsely shred enough carrots to measure about 2 cups. Rinse bean sprouts and trim stringy root ends if desired. In a small bowl lightly beat eggs.

In a small bowl stir together seasoning liquid ingredients.

Spread rice in a shallow baking pan and separate grains with a fork.

In a deep 12-inch heavy non-stick skillet, heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, and stir-fry eggs until scrambled, about 30 seconds. Add scallions, garlic, and red pepper flakes and stir-fry about 15 seconds, or until fragrant. Add carrots and bean sprouts and stir-fry until carrots begin to soften about 1 minute. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Stir seasoning liquid and add to the rice, tossing to coat evenly.

Serve fried rice sprinkled with cilantro and/or mint and dry-roasted peanuts.

Serves 4 as a main course.
