Special Fried Rice

1.) Bring water to a boil. 2.) Add rice, reduce heat, cover and cook over medium low heat until tender, about 15-18 minutes. 3.) Spread rice out on a cookie sheet to quick cool it. (if you have any left over rice you can really speed this dish up.) 4.) Heat a wok, wok shaped skillet, or large nonstick skillet over high heat. 5.) Add oil to the pan. 6.) Add egg to hot oil and break into small bits as it scrambles. 7.) When eggs are scrambled, add garlic and ginger to the pan. (if you happen to be out of ginger like I was once, you can add some teriyaki sauce.) 8.) Add carrots, pepper, and scallions to the pan and quick stir-fry the veggies for about 2 minutes. 9.) Add rice to the pan and combine with veggies. 10.) Fry rice with veggies for 2 or 3 minutes. 11.) Add peas and soy sauce to the rice and stir-fry for 1 minute more, then serve.
