2 eggs
2 green onions, sliced
4 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced

If using fresh rice, cook jasmine rice according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet; stir-fry until fragrant.
Toss in mixed vegetables and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender.
