Ingredients:

• Rice

• Arugula

• Grape Tomatoes - about 1 cup, halved

• Onion

• Eggs- 1 egg per person

• 2 TBS of Soy sauce

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 TBS of Cooking oil (I prefer Olive Oil)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:

   • Ensure all vegetables are washed & chopped

   • Beat the eggs in a bowl & set aside.

   • Soak your rice in water for 20 minutes.

2. Cooking Process:

   • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

   • Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and slightly golden.

3. Add the Eggs:

   • Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the other side.

   • Let the eggs cook for a few seconds until they start to set, then scramble them gently using a spatula.

   • Once the eggs are cooked, mix them with the onions.

4. Stir in the Vegetables:

   • Add the chopped arugula and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet.

   • Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until the vegetables start to wilt and release their juices.

5. Add the Rice:

   • Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the empty space.

   • Add the chilled cooked rice to the skillet and break up any remaining clumps.

   • Stir-fry the rice for a few minutes to heat it through and mix with the vegetables.

6. Season and Finish:

   • Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) over the rice and vegetables.

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

   • Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.

7. Serve:

   • Once the rice is hot and nicely coated with the vegetables and seasonings, remove from heat.

   • Serve the veggie fried rice hot as a delicious and nutritious meal or side dish.
