| Recipe Ingredients | |
| 3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil , divided | |
| 4 large eggs , lightly beaten | |
| 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger | |
| 2 cloves garlic , minced | |
| 1 12-ounce bag shredded mixed vegetables , such as “rainbow salad” or “broccoli slaw” | |

- Wipe out the pan and heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1 minute. Add shredded vegetables, bean sprouts, half the sliced scallions, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes.
