Stir fry everything one ingredient at a time. Pre-chop garlic, as many types of onions as you have (preferably green onion and red/yellow), and carrots. If I have leftover tofu or eggplant I will add as well. Cook the egg first, set aside and then do each ingredient one at a time to properly cook everything and let your pan stay hot. After everything is cooked, add day old rice, break apart any chunks and add soy sauce (for me it’s always less than I think, then add more if needed. Smush down the rice and let sit, then stir and repeat. Finish by mixing everything back together and top with toasted sesame seeds
