Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring it's thoroughly cooked.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Add the defrosted mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir until well combined.
Stir in the cooked rice and evenly distribute the soy sauce across the mixture.
Continue to stir fry for another 5-10 minutes until all ingredients are well mixed and heated through.
Serve hot with your choice of garnish.
Notes
Use leftover or day-old rice for best results as it's drier and less likely to become mushy.
• Cook the ground beef thoroughly until there's no pink color left.
• Remember to defrost your frozen vegetables before adding them to the pan.
• When adding soy sauce, do it gradually to adjust the saltiness to your taste.
• Always garnish your fried rice with some freshly chopped green onions or sesame seeds for that extra burst of flavor.
