Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the chilled day-old rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

  3. Stir in mixed vegetables, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until vibrant and slightly tender.
  4. Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture. Stir for 1 minute, allowing flavors to combine.
  5. Push the rice mixture to one side and scramble the eggs in the cleared area, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.
  6. Increase heat to high and cook together for an additional minute, looking for a slight crispness and inviting aroma.
