Tips:

- Cook the rice properly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will help you to evenly cook the rice and prevent it from sticking.
- Heat the skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from sticking.
- Add the vegetables and cook until tender: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch to them.
- Add the rice and cook until heated through: The rice should be heated through and slightly browned.
- Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
