I searched for an easy veggie/rice dinner because I didn't feel like going to the grocery store... after viewing many ideas, I put this one together, and I am publishing for my own memory, as well as to help any body else in need of a quick dinner from refrigerator extras!

Steps

1

If you do not have leftover rice, cook some rice in a yummy vegetable, chicken or beef stock at least 2 hours before preparing meal - the key is having enough rice to equal the amount of veggies you are using. Be sure rice is cooked and cold, and all veggies are chopped/diced prior to cooking.
2

Heat olive oil or butter in a saute pan / wok (pan large enough for rice and veggies to be stirred)
3

Add garlic, cook for a minute or 2.
4

Add veggies, 1 at a time, in order of desired cooking time (example: 1st carrots for 3-5min, then onion, then broccoli, then water chestnuts, then spinach)
5

Stir in rice, a couple dashes of ginger, sesame oil and tamari sauce (to taste). Stir fry for about 5min, then remove from heat and enjoy!
6

Any veggie combo will work, here is some inspiration: corn, peas, pea pods, sugar snaps, carrots, peppers, mushrooms, onion, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, waterchestnuts, eggplant, tomato, sweet potato, zucchini - add left over shrimp, chicken, pork, beef... anything goes!!! Even bacon!
