- 4 cups cooked rice, cooled
- 2 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce

Method
- Heat a non-stick wok or fry pan over a medium heat.

- Heat the oil in pan. Add garlic and onions. Cook for a few minutes or until the onion is transparent.

- Add the vegetables and any meat you are using and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are warm. Add a little water if the mixture is too dry and sticking to the pan.
- When the vegetables are cooked, add the scrambled egg back into the pan and gently mix through.
