Method

1. Heat half the olive oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat and brown the chicken 5-6 minutes, until golden and it reads 74°C (165°F). Lift it out.
2. Scramble the beaten eggs in the pan for a minute, just until set, and lift them out too.
3. Add the rest of the oil with the carrots, garlic and ginger and stir-fry 3 minutes, until the carrots start to soften, then the peas for 1 minute.
4. Add the cold rice, press it flat and leave it 2 minutes to crisp, then toss. Return the chicken and eggs, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar and spring onions and toss 1 minute more.
