  2. Slice the onion. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
  3. Heat half the oil in a wok over high heat, pour in the eggs and scramble for 1 minute. Set aside.
  4. Add the rest of the oil and stir-fry the onion for 2 minutes, then the peas for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the rice and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until piping hot.
