Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked rice (preferably cold, leftover rice works best)
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, and diced bell peppers)
• 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
• 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 thumb-sized ginger, grated
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 cup diced tofu or cooked shrimp for added protein
• Sesame seeds and additional green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice: If you don’t have leftover rice, cook the rice according to package instructions and let it cool. Cold rice works best for fried rice as it reduces moisture.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a wok or large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
3. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add mixed vegetables, broccoli, and green onions to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. If using tofu or shrimp, add them to the wok and cook until tofu is lightly browned or shrimp is cooked through.
4. Push Vegetables to the Side: Push the vegetables to one side of the wok, creating a clear space for the eggs.
5. Scramble Eggs: Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the clear space in the wok. Allow them to set for a moment, then scramble them with a spatula until cooked through.
6. Combine Rice: Add the cold, cooked rice to the wok. Use a spatula to break up any clumps and combine the rice with the vegetables and eggs.
7. Season with Sauces: Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the sauces. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Optional Protein Addition: If you opted for tofu or shrimp, ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the fried rice.
9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the Vegetable Fried Rice with sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions.
10. Serve Hot: Serve the Vegetable Fried Rice hot as a standalone dish or as a delicious side.
