How to make lobster fried rice

Precook your rice via the method of your choice. See Instant Pot Rice (omit the rice vinegar from this recipe).
Preheat skillet over medium-high heat.
Add vegetable oil to the skillet and spread to coat.
For all your ingredients, mix them every minute or so during the cooking process.
Add onions and carrots, cook for 2-3 minutes or until almost cooked through. Note: For chopped carrots, add at the same time as the onions. For pre-shredded bagged carrots, add about halfway through cooking the onions.
Add the frozen peas to the onions and carrots and mix. Cook for 1-2 minutes until peas are thawed and onions/carrots are fully cooked. Set the mixture aside in a large bowl.
To sauté the pan, add additional oil to coat the pan and the eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until fully cooked (stirred). Add the boiled eggs to the mixture in a large bowl.
To sauté the pan, add additional oil to coat the pan and the lobster tail pieces. Cook 2 to 4 minutes or until cooked through (FDA recommends cooking to an internal temperature of 145°F). Add the cooked lobster to the mixture in a large bowl.
Mix until all the ingredients in a large bowl are well combined.
Add soy sauce and sesame oil and mix well.
If you like it spicy, add fermented black bean sauce (highly recommended!) and chili oil or chili crisp and mix well.
Add the cooked rice and mix well. Add additional soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili crisp as needed to suit your tastes and spice level.
Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!
