Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and diced onion; sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in diced carrots and peas; cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Drizzle soy sauce and sweet soy sauce over the rice; mix well to combine.

Push the rice to one side of the skillet; crack an egg into the empty space and scramble until just set.

Combine the scrambled egg with the rice mixture; season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste.

Stir in chopped green onions and cook for an additional minute.

Remove from heat and garnish with coriander leaves before serving.
