Prep the Rice and Veggies
Ensure your rice is cold and leftover from a previous meal for the best texture. Break up any clumps with a fork. Dice your chosen vegetables into small, even pieces.

Sauté Vegetables
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the diced vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Season lightly with salt.

Cook the Rice and Egg
Add the cold rice to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until it is heated through. Beat the eggs in a small bowl, then pour them evenly over the rice. Stir constantly until the eggs are set and coat the grains. Finish with soy sauce, mix well, and serve hot.
