Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add in the red bell pepper and onion. Saute until the onion is starting to turn translucent (about 4 - 5 minutes). Add in the cooked chicken and saute with the peppers and onions until the chicken has warmed through (about 2 minutes). Add in the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger, and saute until aromatic (about 30 seconds - 1 minute).

Add in half of the rice, and stir to mix with the vegetables and chicken. Pour in the Tamari, sesame oil, and cumin. Stir to combine. Add in the remaining rice, and stir.

Add the cooked eggs and the majority of the green parts of the green onions in and gently stir to mix into the rice.

Serve hot. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions as garnish.
