- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions
- Mash the rice gently with your hands to break apart lumps and loosen each grain. Set aside.
- In a large pan or wok, heat butter or margarine over high heat until melted.

- Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, and oyster sauce and toss to mix. Cook for another minute, stirring from time to time.
- Move everything to the sides and make room in the middle. Add a tablespoon of oil or butter then add the beaten eggs and stir and cook until scrambled. Make sure there are no big lumps.
- Toss everything together several times to combine. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Cook for another minute or two without stirring.
- Then add green onions and sesame oil and stir one last time before removing from heat.
- Transfer to a serving plate.
