1½ cup Water
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
2 tbsp Soy Sauce (low sodium soy sauce)

Place a saucepan on flame and pour 1½ cups of water into it. Now, add 1/2 tsp garlic salt and 2 tbsp soy sauce to the pan and bring it to a boil.
As soon as the water starts boiling, pour instant rice into the water and mix thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Leave it like this for at least 5 minutes. This will let the rice steam and cook.

Put chopped onions and snow peas in the skillet/ wok and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes. Do make sure to keep on stirring the ingredients, otherwise they will not get cooked evenly.

Add the beaten eggs to the skillet/ wok and mix well. Cook the ingredients for 2 minutes, on low heat, while making sure to stir them all the time.
Transfer the ingredients in the skillet/ wok to the saucepan with the rice. Stir all of them well, to ensure a thorough mix.
