Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

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

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

3 green onions, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

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

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for deeper flavor)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs (optional, for protein)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: If using, whisk the eggs in a bowl and set aside. Chop all vegetables and green onions.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

      Scramble the Eggs (Optional): If using eggs, add them to the pan. Allow them to cook for about 2 minutes until just set, then scramble them gently. Remove from the pan and set aside.

        Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

          Add Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender but still vibrant.

            Fry the Rice: Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry everything together for about 4-5 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.

              Season: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) over the rice. Mix well, ensuring the rice is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                Combine: If you scrambled eggs earlier, add them back to the pan along with the chopped green onions. Stir everything together for another minute.

                  Garnish: Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired. Give it one final stir.

                    Serve: Plate the vegetable fried rice hot and enjoy your quick and delicious meal!
