After you cook the rice, try spreading it out on a cookie sheet so that it cools quickly and dries a little.

• Add 1 Tbs sesame oil and olive oil to wok. Add onions, green and red bell peppers, snow peas, garlic, and celery to wok. Stir fry for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and stir fry for 1–2 minutes longer.
• Add cooked rice, carrots, and 2 Tbs soy sauce. Add more olive oil if necessary. Cook the rice for about 5 minutes, until heated through.
• Add cooked eggs and green onions, and cook for 1 minute more before serving.
