Slice the spring onion into thin rings. Briefly rinse the mixed veg and drain well.
Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok. Beat the eggs, season lightly with salt and let them set into soft scrambled egg.
Push the scrambled egg to the side. Add the mixed veg and brown rice to the pan and stir-fry until everything is hot and lightly browned.
Fold in the scrambled egg and add the soy sauce. Toss everything well so the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Fold in the spring onion at the end. Leave briefly so it stays fresh and still has some bite.
Serve straight away. If you like, finish with a squeeze of lime juice or a few toasted sesame seeds.
