Creating Egg Fried Rice is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Rice: If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool. Day-old rice works best for this recipe.
2. Scramble Eggs: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, season with a pinch of salt, and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender.
4. Add Rice: Add the cooled rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and break apart any clumps.
5. Season the Rice: Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) over the rice. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
6. Combine Eggs: Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet and mix well with the rice and vegetables.
7. Finish and Serve: Stir in the chopped green onions, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve hot.

Following these steps will lead you to a delightful plate of Egg Fried Rice that is both satisfying and delicious!
