Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (preferably day-old)

1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, and bell peppers)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil for added flavor)

3 green onions, chopped (separate white and green parts)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for a richer flavor)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 large eggs (optional for extra protein)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Ingredients: If not using day-old rice, cook the rice according to package instructions and let it cool. Chop all your vegetables and set aside.

    Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

      Stir-Fry the Aromatics: Add the chopped white parts of the green onions and minced garlic to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant.

        Add the Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

          Move to the Side: Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. If using, crack the eggs into the empty side of the pan and scramble them until cooked through. Mix them with the veggies once done.

            Incorporate the Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir everything together.

              Season the Fried Rice: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and absorb all the flavors.

                Final Touches: Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your colorful veggie-packed fried rice!
