After another three minutes, form a space in the middle of the pan with a spatula and crack an egg into the pan. Fold the egg into the rest of the rice mixture and allow to cook for five to eight additional minutes.  

Rice should be browning and sticking to the bottom slightly.  

Scrape the pan and serve with fresh green onion, sesame seeds and extra soy sauce.
