Ingredients

6 cups water
3 cups long grain white rice, uncooked
3 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
2 eggs, beaten
½ onion, finely chopped
1 green onion, chopped
4 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
½ cup frozen peas
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

Pour water into a saucepan; add rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir in eggs and cook until scrambled to desired consistency. Remove eggs from the pan; set aside.
Using the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium heat. Stir in onion and green onion; cook until onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salmon, rice, peas, and scrambled eggs; toss until evenly blended. Cook and stir rice mixture until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
