Directions

  1. Set a heavy-bottomed skillet over low heat while preparing vegetable, garlic, and eggs. Turn heat to high a few minutes before cooking!
  2. Put 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion in the skillet; stir-fry until the onion is still crisp but starts to turn brown, about 1-2 minute.
  3. Add the vegetables; stir-fry until crisp-tender for vegetables, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds, then transfer the mixture to a plate; set aside.
  4. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in the skillet; heat until shimmering. Add the rice; stir-fry, breaking up clumps, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  5. Create a small opening in rice and add the egg, scrambling about 1 minute. Then mix the eggs into rice, return the vegetable mixture, along with soy sauce and the scallions to the pan and stir to combine.
  6. Serve immediately!
