Ingredients:

1: Prepare the Ingredients 🥕

• If you haven’t already, cook and cool your rice. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Prepare any additional protein or vegetables you plan to use.

2: Heat the Oil 🔥

• In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

• Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

5: Scramble the Eggs 🥚

7: Season the Fried Rice 🥢
