Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

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

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

2 tablespoons sesame oil (divided)

2 large eggs, beaten

3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Squeeze of lime juice (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep Ingredients: Ensure all your veggies are chopped and ready to go. If using leftover rice, break up any clumps with a fork.

    Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

        Add Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables and continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp.

          Push to Side: Push the veggies to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the cleared space.

            Cook Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the hot oil. Allow them to sit for a few seconds before scrambling them gently. Once cooked, mix with the vegetables.

              Incorporate Rice: Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is heated through.

                Season: Drizzle the soy sauce and optional oyster sauce over the rice mixture. Mix well to incorporate the flavors and taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed.

                  Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro on top. For an extra zing, add a squeeze of lime juice.

                    Serve: Serve hot in bowls, and enjoy your colorful and nutritious veggie-packed fried rice!
