about 3/4 cup, chopped
4

Instructions
Cook your rice according to package directions.
Chill the rice for 6-8 hours or overnight (I often cook the rice in the morning then chill it all day in the fridge to have for dinner).
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large, non-stick skillet.
Add in the onion along with a sprinkle of salt and saute 6-8 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove the onion and set aside on a small plate.
Lightly beat the eggs with the sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the same skillet.
Pour the egg mix into the pan and cook over medium low heat until done (1-2 minutes).
Remove the eggs and place on a separate plate.
Add the last tablespoon of oil to the pan.
Add in the carrots, peas, and a sprinkle of salt and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Add in the cabbage and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook until cabbage softens, 1-2 minutes.
Add back the onion, along with the chilled rice, scallions, and eggs.
Heat the mix through until the rice is warmed.
Stir in two tablespoons of soy sauce and taste to see if more is desired (I like three tablespoons).
Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Enjoy!
