2 tablespoons of sesame oil

# Instructions:
01 -
Start by heating up a pan with some olive oil over high heat. Toss in the onions and cook for about 5 minutes. Add your diced halloumi, cooking it for another 5 minutes until it gets golden on the edges.
02 -
Next, throw in all your chopped meats and cook them for 3 to 5 minutes until they get a bit browned.
03 -
Add your day-old rice to the pan, giving it a quick stir every now and then. Let it cook for around 5 minutes.
04 -
Create a little open spot in the middle of the pan, crack in the egg, scramble it quickly, and mix it into the rice.
05 -
Mix in the rest of the ingredients and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with some chopped romaine on top and a drizzle of balsamic to finish.
# Notes:
01 -
Rice that's a day old works best because it's a bit drier.
