Break the eggs into a bowl and keep them aside.

Sprinkle some salt and black pepper powder over the eggs.
Mix well and cook until the eggs turn into a dry scramble. This will take around 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl and keep them aside.
In the same pan, heat oil. Sauté the finely chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilies.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for a minute.
Add the chopped french beans, carrot, and green capsicum. Toss for 2 minutes, keeping the vegetables crunchy.
Add the leftover rice and scrambled eggs to the pan.
Add dark soya sauce, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper powder.
Mix everything gently to combine the ingredients well.
Garnish with spring onions before serving hot.
Use leftover rice for the best results, as freshly cooked rice may turn soggy.
Use minimal sauces. Just a splash of soy sauce. Don’t overload. Street style is pepper-forward, not too saucy.
Toss quickly and avoid over stirring. Over mixing breaks rice and makes it mushy.
