Chinese Fried Rice

I had been craving fried rice for a while, so I found this recipe on recipezaar and made it. I liked it, but I would probably use less sesame oil next time. Also make sure the rice is cold. It clumps together otherwise.

2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups cold cooked rice
1 chicken bouillon cube
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil

1. on low heat place 1 tablespoon olive oil in large saucepan or wok. Cook beaten eggs briefly, breaking into pieces. Remove and set aside.
2.Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to pan. Add onions, carrots, and peas. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
3.Dissolve chicken bouillon cube in water. Place in pan and add cold rice, garlic powder, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss lightly to mix well and heat for 3 minutes. Add in egg pieces and mix.
4. Additional soy sauce may be added to taste. (One cup of finely chopped pork or chicken pieces may also be added.)
