Remove from the heat, and let the rice sit for about 10 minutes.
Place the rice in the refrigerator and allow it to cool completely, about 1 to 2 hours. It’s best to make the rice ahead of time.
Place a wok or a large skillet over high heat.
When the skillet is hot, add the vegetable oil and pour in the eggs.
Stir the eggs as they cook and when they have become scrambled remove them from the pan.
Add the rice, frozen peas and carrots, and scallions to the pan.
Stir the rice continually to break it up.
After about two minutes, add the scrambled eggs and pour in the sesame oil.
Continue to cook until the rice has heated through.
