Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt completely.
  2. Once the butter is melted, add 1 diced onion to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Next, stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots, cooking for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  4. Now, add 4 cups of cold, cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and mix thoroughly, cooking for about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Push the rice mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour in 2 beaten eggs into the empty spot and scramble until fully cooked.
  6. Once everything is well combined, remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
