Heat a frying pan or wok over high heat until hot. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil and then swirl it around the pan to coat. Add the egg and scramble vigorously with a spatula to break it up into small chunks. When the eggs, are barely cooked, transfer them to a plate.

Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the pan along with the onion and carrot. Stir-fry until the carrots are tender.
3

Add the rice, using your hands to crumble the rice apart as much as possible. Stir-fry, using the spatula to break up the rice so that there are no clumps.
