04 - 1 cup chopped small broccoli florets
05 - 1 cup sliced sugar snap peas
06 - 3 green onions, thinly sliced
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger

# How to Make:
01 - Warm the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
02 - Add the diced carrots and chopped broccoli florets; stir-fry for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
03 - Incorporate bell pepper, sugar snap peas, minced garlic, and grated ginger; continue stir-frying for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and tender-crisp.
04 - Push the vegetables aside and spread chilled jasmine rice in an even layer in the pan. Raise heat to high and let the rice cook undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a crispy bottom layer.

06 - Stir-fry the entire mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice is heated through with a slight crispness.

08 - Portion the fried rice into bowls; garnish with toasted sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges if using.
