Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little butter and sesame oil.

Crack 3 eggs into the pan and scramble them until cooked through, breaking them into tiny pieces.

Set the scrambled eggs aside once cooked.

In the same pan, add more butter and sesame oil and heat it up.

Add 3 cups of cooked rice to the pan and stir-fry until heated through.

Season the rice with salt and black pepper to taste while stirring.

Add the defrosted 2 and 1/2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables to the rice and mix well.

Turn the heat down low and continue to mix the rice and vegetables together.

Pour soy sauce over the rice mixture and stir until the rice turns brown from the soy sauce.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, being careful with salt due to the soy sauce.

Serve the fried rice, optionally adding chicken, pork, or beef for more protein.
