Instructions
Cook Vegetables and Rice
Combine the frozen mixed vegetables and pre-cooked rice in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until vegetables are thawed and the rice is heated through.
Scramble the Eggs
Push the rice mixture to the side of the bowl and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, stopping every 30 seconds to stir the eggs until they are just set.
Season and Combine
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice and egg mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated and the egg is broken into small pieces throughout.
Final Heat and Serve
Microwave on high for an additional 90 seconds until everything is piping hot. Divide into two bowls and serve immediately.
