Method

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat until shimmering.

  2. Add garlic powder and stir briefly, about 10 seconds, to release its aroma.

  3. Add the leftover rice and the chosen vegetables, stirring constantly for 3‑5 minutes until the rice is heated through and the vegetables are tender‑crisp.

  4. Stir in dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame sauce, adjusting the amounts to taste; continue cooking for another 1‑2 minutes so the flavors coat the rice evenly.

  5. Season with additional salt or pepper if desired, then serve hot.

Preheat oil fully
Heat the oil until it shimmers before adding garlic powder.
