Vietnamese Fried Rice

Directions

1. Lightly beat eggs in a small bowl.
2. Stir fish sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar together in a small bowl to make seasoning liquid.
3. Spread cooked rice in a shallow baking pan and separate grains with a fork.
4. Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy non-stick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook and stir eggs in hot oil until scrambled, about 30 seconds.
5. Mix scallions and garlic into eggs and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
6. Add carrots to egg mixture and stir-fry until carrots begin to soften, about 1 minute.
7. Spoon rice into carrot-egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Pour seasoning liquid over fried rice, tossing to coat evenly.
9. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over fried rice to serve.
