# How to Make It:
01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and black pepper.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside.
03 - Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan. Sauté the white parts of the scallions and minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
04 - Add the chilled rice and break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
05 - Drizzle in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Add the frozen peas (if using) and toss everything to combine.
06 - Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Add the green parts of the scallions and 3 tablespoons chili crisp. Stir well to distribute the chili oil and crisp bits evenly.
07 - Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
08 - Serve hot, garnished with extra chili crisp, sliced scallions, and toasted sesame seeds.
