Ingredients

3 cups cooked white rice, cold
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
6 ounces frozen vegetable mix, or fresh vegetables
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp or Chinese sausage, optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce of choice and white pepper. Set aside.
2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
In a large skillet, cast iron pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until opaque and soft. If you are adding raw vegetables or a cooked protein, add them at this step as well.
1/2 cup onion,, 1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp or Chinese sausage, optional, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
After onion has cooked, add frozen vegetables. Stir until defrosted, approximately 3-4 minutes.
6 ounces frozen vegetable mix,
Add cold rice, using a spatula to toss the rice with other ingredients. Do NOT stir, instead toss or flip to prevent the starch from making the rice too soggy.
3 cups cooked white rice,
Add lightly beaten eggs, continuing to flip until eggs are nearly cooked.
2 eggs,
Pour sesame oil mixture over top of rice, continuing to flip and toss until all grains are uniformly colored. If you do not use a dark soy sauce, yours might not be as dark as mine.
