Gather and prep ingredients by dicing onion, mincing garlic, slicing scallions, thawing frozen vegetables, beating eggs, and fluffing cold rice.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add oil.
Add beaten eggs to the pan and scramble gently until just set, then remove and set aside.
Add more oil if needed, sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic and mixed vegetables.
Add the cold rice, spreading it out in a thin layer. Let sit undisturbed for 30-60 seconds to create a crunch, then toss.
Add soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, and the scrambled eggs back to the pan; toss briefly to combine.
Plate the fried rice hot and garnish with extra scallions and sesame seeds.

For added flavor, finish with a squeeze of lime or extra sesame oil.
