Ingredients
3 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
3 cups shredded cabbage
2 cups leftover cooked white rice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

Steps
In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; add 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil. Cook and stir eggs in the hot oil until scrambled and set, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer eggs to a plate, clean the pan, and return to medium high heat.
Pour in remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in onions and green peppers and cook for about 5 minutes. Add cabbage and cook until softened, about 5 minutes more.
Stir in cooked rice, soy sauce, grated ginger, and cooked eggs. Stir until combined and heated thoroughly, about 5 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and top with green onions. Serve warm.
