Finely dice the onion and carrot, slice the green beans, and chop the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat and scramble half the beaten egg for 1 minute until just set; remove and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and fry the onion, garlic, carrot and green beans for 4 minutes until softened.
Push to one side, pour in the remaining oil and egg, and scramble for 1 minute until just set.
Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps, and toss for 4 minutes until heated through.
Return the reserved egg to the wok, add the light soy sauce and white pepper, and toss for 2 minutes until evenly coated.
