Directions
In a medium nonstick skillet, heat ¼ teaspoon vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

With a spatula turn the egg round over, and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and slightly brown on the edges.
Transfer the egg round onto a cutting board, half and thinly slice the cooked egg.
Place on a plate and set side.
Add the remaining oil into the same skillet, and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the onions, stirring constantly, and cook for 5 minutes until the onions are browned.
Add the garlic, ginger and mushroom, stirring occasionally, and cook until the mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the bell peppers and carrots, and cook for about 2 minutes until tender but still crispy.
Add the broccoli, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until all the veggies are tender.
Stir in the cilantro and rice, mix well.
Meanwhile whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Pour the sauce over and stir until well combined.
Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
You may adjust the seasonings if desired.
