2 cups cooked, cold brown rice

3 tablespoons oil, divided

1/2 head green cabbage, shredded

1 large carrot, shredded

(also any other vegetables that you want)

1 yellow onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, grated or minced

1 1-inch piece ginger, grated or minced

Steps

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Saute the onion, garlic, and ginger until soft and fragrant.

Add another 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and add the vegetables. Saute until tender-crisp. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Add the rice and 1 tablespoon oil (if needed). Stir fry until heated through and/or lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime (or calamansi, if in the Philippines) and soy sauce.

Notes

I doubled the veggie amount and still loved it! It just depends on how much rice you want in with the whole thing.

Additional add-ins: red pepper, edamame, scrambled or fried egg, tofu, chicken, shrimp, broccoli, and fresh herbs.
