Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice day old (if you want to use same day cooked rice, see Notes for further instructions)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (like green peas, carrots, corn, green beans and/or lima beans)

- ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Fry scallion whites and garlic until fragrant, about 10 seconds.

- Add remaining tablespoon oil into empty space, followed by beaten eggs. Scramble eggs and break into small pieces. Move everything to the side.

Notes
- ¾ measuring cup of 150 grams to make 2 cups cooked rice.
- Lay out warm cooked rice in a single layer on a large baking sheet
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer, uncovered for 60 minutes so the cold air can dry out the rice
- Once the rice is cold and drier, pour ½ teaspoon of neutral oil in the palm of your hands and rub together. This prevents the rice from sticking to your hands.
- Break the rice apart into separate granules
