Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat to keep them crisp. You can also add some garlic or ginger for extra flavor. Make sure to stir the rice constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
This fried rice is perfect for a quick and easy dinner. You can also make a large batch and freeze it for later. Just reheat it in the microwave or on the stove.
