Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

2 large eggs

1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 green onions, sliced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or vegetarian alternative)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Cooked protein (chicken or shrimp), if desired

Garnish: fresh cilantro or lime wedges

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: If using day-old rice, break apart any clumps. Measure out the vegetables and sauces to streamline cooking.

    Scramble the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then pour them into the skillet. Stir gently until scrambled and fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Stir in the Mixed Veggies: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.

          Combine Rice and Seasonings: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any remaining clumps. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the sauces.

            Incorporate Eggs and Green Onions: Gently fold in the scrambled eggs and sliced green onions. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

              Serve Hot: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro or serve with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick.
