Scramble the eggs, using about half of the oil or butter for the skillet. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the onion and carrot in the rest of the butter or oil until the onion is translucent and the carrot is starting to soften. Mix in the garlic and rice. Saute for about 5 minutes to warm the rice through.
Meanwhile, steam the snow peas on the stove top or in the microwave until tender crisp and bright green, about 1 minute.
Mix the eggs, snow peas, soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot sauce (if using) into the rice mixture. Saute for another 2-3 minutes, stirring well to coat, until the mixture is hot and heated through.
