Add beaten eggs, and let sit for about 30 seconds or until eggs are just beginning to set. Stir to scramble, breaking eggs into chunks as you go, until eggs and rice are well combined. Step 3 In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour soy sauce mixture over rice, and continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes or until everything is well mixed. Cool completely. Package and freeze. TO Serve: Microwave frozen, stirring every minute or so. Variation: Add 1 cup cooked, diced chicken after adding vegetables.
