Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)

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

1 cup broccoli florets

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

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

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 large eggs, beaten

3 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: Sesame seeds and cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your vegetables are washed, chopped, and ready to go. This will make the stir-frying process smooth and quick.

    Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

      Cook the vegetables: Add in the mixed vegetables and broccoli florets. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still vibrant in color.

        Scramble the eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.

          Add the rice: Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine all ingredients and ensure the rice is heated through.

            Season the dish: Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

              Finish with green onions: Fold in the chopped green onions, leaving a few aside for garnishing later. Stir until just combined.

                Serve and garnish: Remove from heat and divide the vegetable fried rice into bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro if desired, along with any reserved green onions.

                  Enjoy your vibrant and healthy family-friendly vegetable fried rice bowl!
