- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced

Step-by-Step Recipe
- Begin by heating a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and let it warm for a minute.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for about 3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. If using frozen peas or other veggies, feel free to add them now. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the other side. Allow them to cook for a minute, then scramble and mix with the veggies.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet. If you’re using leftover rice, make sure to break up any clumps. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and, if desired, a splash of oyster sauce. Stir to combine and ensure the rice is evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and if you like, add some ginger for an extra kick.
- Cook everything together for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the rice to brown slightly and enhance the flavors.
- Once everything is well mixed and heated through, remove from heat.
- Serve your fried rice with mixed veggies hot, and enjoy with your favorite sides, such as egg drop soup or baked chicken.
