Note
For best results, use day-old cooked rice as it fries better and doesn't get mushy. If using fresh instant rice, spread it out on a plate to cool slightly before frying.
You can substitute the mixed vegetables with any frozen stir-fry blend or fresh veggies like bell peppers, onions, or broccoli.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce to taste. Start with half a packet and add more if you prefer a saltier flavor.
Serve immediately while hot. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if available.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a microwave or skillet.
