Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked rice, cold (preferably day-old)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, bell peppers, or corn)
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken or turkey sausage, diced (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil or butter. Add eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Cook vegetables for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender. Add sausage if using and cook until warmed through.
- Add cold rice to the skillet. Spread it out and let cook undisturbed for 1 minute to develop light crispness. Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes.
- Add soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well. Return scrambled eggs to the pan and gently combine.
- Stir in green onions and cook for 1 more minute. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
