Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Add 2 cups mixed chopped vegetables (carrots, bell pepper, onion) and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add 3 cups cooked rice, breaking up clumps. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until rice is hot and slightly toasted.
Step 4
Pour 2 tbsp soy sauce over the rice and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute more, until sauce is absorbed.
Step 5
Stir in 2 chopped scallions and serve hot. Add chili flakes or turmeric if you like extra heat or color.
