Ingredients
  

3 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably cold)

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

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn - fresh or frozen)

3 green onions, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 teaspoon oyster sauce (optional for depth)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh coriander for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Ensure your cooked rice is cold and separated. This prevents it from becoming mushy. Gather all your other ingredients.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Scramble the Eggs: Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and stir gently. Cook until just set, then remove them from the pan and set aside.

        Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

          Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender and heated through.

            Fry the Rice: Add the cold rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to crisp slightly.

              Flavor It Up: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                Combine Everything: Fold in the scrambled eggs and green onions, stirring everything together just until heated through, about another minute.

                  Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh coriander if desired, and serve warm with lime wedges on the side.
