Move the rice to the sides of the wok or pan, add the groundnut oil to the little well created in the centre and, when hot, pour in the beaten egg. When the egg starts to set, scramble and stir into the rice
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper, stirring and tossing to make sure all the grains are well coated. Continue cooking until the edges of the rice and eggs turn a light golden brown
Finally, add the frozen peas and continue stir-frying on high heat for a few minutes until the peas are cooked. Check for seasoning, adjusting with a pinch of sea salt as necessary. Serve immediately
