2. In a large frying pan, pour in the cooking oil and stir the egg in. Cook till it lightly coats the pan
3. Add in mixed vegetables, including tomatoes if desired. Other vegetables like sweet peas can be added
4. Mix thoroughly. Extra tablespoon of oil can be added to prevent the mixture from sticking to pan
5. Once rice is fully cooked, add into the pan of mixed vegetables and eggs. Mix thoroughly.
6. Add in nuts and pour in soy sauce lightly throughout the mixture, stirring in thoroughly to ensure even coating and mixing
7. Continue cooking for about 10 mins while stirring continuously and intermittently
