8. Move the veggies to the perimeter of the pan and in the middle, add the egg.
9. Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir the egg to scramble.
10. Add the cooked brown rice, cooked chicken and sesame oil. Stir well to distribute the oil and
spread the rice and veggies all over the pan.
11. Walk away from the pan and let the ingredients brown a bit.
12. After about 2 minutes, stir and let sit for another 2 minutes to brown.
13. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar and scallions. Stir well and serve.
