  6. Mix all together: Return the shrimp and eggs to the skillet. Add green onions and sesame oil. Stir everything together until well mixed and heated through.
  7. Season: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Ensure the rice is cooked and cooled beforehand to prevent it from becoming mushy during stir-frying.
  • Customize the vegetables according to preference or availability.
