Assemble all your ingredients, making sure everything is chopped up and ready to go.
- Heat a large flat plate or a large frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Once it's hot, add the carrots and the white parts of the spring onions. Mix well, then create a well in the centre and add the 2 eggs.
- Using a cutting motion with either two bench scrapers or two fish slices, mix the eggs through the carrot and spring onion. Season with salt and chilli flakes.
