Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the bell pepper and carrots, and sauté them for about 2 minutes until they start to soften. Next, add most of the green onions (save a little for garnish), the ham, green peas, and garlic. Cook everything together for another 3 minutes so the flavors meld.

Step 2
Then, add the rice straight into the skillet—no need to heat it beforehand. Drizzle soy sauce and a splash of vinegar over the rice, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 3 minutes. Once everything is heated through, use the back of a spoon to make four little wells in the rice. Crack an egg into each one, cover the pan, and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are done just how you like them—this usually takes around 5 to 7 minutes. Finally, uncover the pan and sprinkle the rest of the green onions on top before serving.
