Start with leftover rice and eggs; if no leftover rice, cook rice using less water than usual for fried rice.

Use long grain rice like jasmine for better results.

Thinly slice 3 green onions, no need to separate whites and greens.

Crack 5 eggs into a small container, add a pinch of salt, and beat well.

In a large wok or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over high heat.

Pour in the beaten eggs and cook for about 30 seconds, flipping them like an omelet until lightly browned.

Push the eggs to one side of the pan, add another 2 tablespoons of oil in the empty space, and add 4 cups of cooked rice.

Break the eggs into smaller pieces and stir-fry everything together for about 2 minutes.

Optionally, add chopped green onions and garlic before adding the rice for more aroma.

Add 2.5 tablespoons of soy sauce around the sides of the wok and let it sizzle for 20 seconds.

Stir-fry for about 2 more minutes, optionally adding a pinch of MSG for flavor.

Taste and adjust salt as needed, then add the sliced green onions and 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil if desired.

Mix everything well and transfer to a serving plate.
