Step 1: Prep the Ingredients: Start by preparing all your ingredients. Cook and cool the rice in advance, as day-old rice works best for fried rice. You can also use freshly cooked rice, but make sure it has cooled down completely.

Step 2:Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat for a minute.

Step 3:Saute Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant, but be careful not to burn them.

Step 4: Add Vegetables: Add the diced mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. You want them to remain slightly crisp.

Step 5: Push Vegetables Aside: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan to make space for the eggs.

Step 6: Scramble Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the cleared space in the pan. Allow them to cook for a few seconds without stirring, then gently scramble them with a spatula until they’re fully cooked but still slightly moist.

Step 7: Combine Ingredients: Now, add the cooked rice to the pan with the sautéed vegetables and scrambled eggs. Stir everything together to combine.
