Instructions

Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, and frozen vegetables. Saute the veggies until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the curry powder, salt, and pepper and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Push the vegetables over to one side of the pan. Pour the lightly beaten eggs onto the other side. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs until they are cooked through.
Once the eggs are cooked, mix them in with the vegetables.
Add the rice and soy sauce to the pan and stir until combined and heated through.
Stir in the green onions and remove from heat.
Taste the fried rice, and add more salt and pepper if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Storage Info: Store fried rice in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days.
Fake Day-Old Rice: If you don't have day-old rice, you can fake it! Cook the rice, spread it on a baking sheet, let it cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to dry it out.
Veggies: Fresh vegetables can be used; cooking times will need to be adjusted accordingly.
Get Creative: Throw in cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu for extra protein, and any veggies you have on hand. Fried rice is very flexible!
