Easy Fried Rice

We ordered Chinese takeout last night, and had lots of extra white rice, so I thought fried rice would make a perfect Saturday lunch. Also, I hate throwing food away, so I'm always looking for methods to repurpose leftovers.
Easy Fried Rice
Sesame oil
1 egg
Olive oil
Half of a yellow onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 1/3 c cooked white rice
1/2 T butter
1 c blanched vegetables (I used carrots and broccoli)
1 T Tamari (aged soy sauce)
Red pepper flakes
1. Heat about 1 tsp sesame oil on medium in a large wok.
2. In a small bowl, beat the egg until fluffy.
3. Pour the egg into the wok and swirl it around a bit.
4. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until set. Scramble the eggs in the wok and set aside.
5. Heat about 1 tsp olive oil in the wok.
6. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3-5 minutes until tender.
7. Add the rice and butter to the wok and combine with the onions and garlic.
8. Fry the rice, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, until slightly browned.
9. Add the Tamari soy sauce, vegetables, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and the cooked egg, and heat through.
Serves 2.
