Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the frozen mixed vegetables into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through. Drain any excess water and set aside.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a separate microwave-safe bowl. Beat them with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Microwave the eggs on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the eggs are cooked and scrambled. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the cooked rice. Use a fork to break up any clumps so the rice is evenly separated.

Step 4

To the rice, add the cooked vegetables, scrambled eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the entire mixture is heated through and steaming.

Step 6

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot). Stir the fried rice again to fluff it up.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions on top for a fresh burst of flavor.
