Weeknight fried rice

Let's make it.

1. Break up clumps of chilled rice with your fingers. Have everything ready before heating the pan.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Scramble eggs in a little oil and set aside.
3. Add remaining oil and vegetables; stir-fry until just tender. Add rice in an even layer.
4. Let rice sit briefly against the hot pan, then toss. Repeat until the grains are hot and separate.
5. Return egg, add soy sauce around the edge of the pan, toss, and finish with scallions.

For meat and seafood, use a food thermometer and current authoritative guidance to verify safe doneness. Keep water away from hot oil.
