Equipment

1 10" seasoned cast iron pan or well seasoned wok or non-stick skillet

Ingredients

2 Tb cooking oil, divided into 1 Tb each such as coconut, avocado, or peanut oil
2 ea large eggs whisked; small or medium sized eggs will work too
2 ea hot dog wieners sliced about ¼ - ½" thick
2 c cold, cooked rice leftover rice from the fridge works best
½ c frozen peas
salt to taste for me this is ⅛ teaspoon pink salt or table salt

Optional garnish

ketchup
hot sauce
soy sauce

Instructions

Heat 1 Tb of oil in non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs, and stir until just cooked. Remove eggs from pan onto a separate plate, scraping out as much egg residue as possible.
Using the same pan, add remaining 1 Tb of oil and sliced hot dogs. Fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until browned on both sides.
Add rice to the pan. Stir gently over medium heat until the rice is heated through. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Add frozen peas. Continue stirring over medium to medium high heat until the peas are heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked eggs back to the pan along with salt, if using. Stir to combine and serve hot with ketchup, soy sauce, and/or hot sauce.

Notes

The ratio for this recipe is 1 cup of rice, 1 hot dog, 1 egg, and ¼ c frozen peas. You can adjust the quantity if you'd like to make more or less than 2 servings.

Use a non-stick frying pan or well seasoned cast iron pan or wok to make your cleanup a lot easier. I've also used this one from T-fal.
Leftover, cold cooked rice from the fridge generally works better for fried rice. In a pinch, you can use hot rice, but it will clump up and can get mushy.
Instead of whisking eggs in a separate bowl before cooking, you could do also crack in the eggs into the pan. Whisk the eggs with a spatula in the pan itself as it cooks. This makes one less dish to clean.
Make it vegetarian by using vegan hot dogs. I like the Field Roast brand.
Hold the salt if the salty hot dogs are enough seasoning for you.
