Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Cooked White Rice 3 cups (preferably day-old, cold rice works best)
Sesame Oil 3 tablespoons
Frozen Peas and Carrots 1 cup
Small Onion 1, chopped
Minced Garlic 2 teaspoons
Eggs 2, beaten
Soy Sauce 1/4 cup
Instructions:
Heat the Oil (2 minutes):

In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Sauté the Vegetables (5-7 minutes):

Add the frozen peas, carrots, and chopped onion to the hot oil. Stir fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Scramble the Eggs (2 minutes):

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side of the pan and scramble them until fully cooked.
Combine and Season (5 minutes):

Add the cooked rice to the pan and spread it out evenly.
Pour the soy sauce over the rice and vegetables.
Using a spatula, mix everything together well to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the sauce and heated through.
Final Stir Fry (3-5 minutes):

Continue to stir fry the rice mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until everything is well combined and heated through.
