Instructions
Heat oils in a large wok or heavy bottomed pan over medium high heat.
When preheated, crumble cold leftover rice into the wok, add salt, pepper, and soy sauce, and stir to evenly coat. Cook for about 10 minutes, leaving rice alone to brown for about 3 minutes between each time you stir.
Scoot rice over to one side of the pan and dump your beaten eggs onto the other side. Let sit for a minute before scraping up eggs. Repeat until eggs are scrambled, then toss with rice again.
Dump in frozen peas and carrots and sesame seeds and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring only about every 3 minutes, until it's as browned as you'd like and vegetables are heated through.
