  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 3 stalks Green onions, sliced

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble quickly. Remove and set aside.

  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and add the chilled rice to the other side. Break up any clumps with a spatula.
  5. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, then toss everything together, combining the vegetables and rice evenly.
