  7. Add diced onions and carrots to the wok, stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened
  8. Add the chilled rice, breaking up any clumps with the spatula, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until rice is heated through and well-coated
  9. Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the wok and mix thoroughly
  10. Pour in soy sauce, mirin, and sake around the edges of the wok, stirring everything together for 1 minute
  11. Add white pepper and taste for salt, adjusting as needed
