Take the leftover cold rice out of the fridge.

Get out a frying pan and put it on the burner, turn on the burner and add just enough vegetable oil to thinly coat most of the pan.

Add rice to the pan, and stir it around with a spatula for about two minutes, being careful not to burn the rice.

Push the rice to one half of the pan, then push the pan to the side of the burner so that the empty side of the pan is in the middle of the burner.

Turn up the burner high and add whisked eggs, stirring them until cooked and in small pieces.

Add frozen vegetable medley to the pan, move it back to the center of the burner and turn the heat down slightly. Mix all the ingredients together until everything is cooked and hot.

Add soy sauce and sesame oil to taste. Stir it all up, and it's now ready to serve.
