Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the diced onion, and sauté until fragrant and slightly caramelized. Add in the minced garlic and mix well.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the empty space. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, then mix them with the vegetables. (Omit this step for vegan version)
Increase the heat to high and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry for a few minutes until heated through and starting to brown slightly.
Drizzle the coco aminos and toasted sesame oil over the rice and vegetables. Stir well to combine and evenly distribute the coco aminos.
Season the fried rice with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the fried rice with optional chopped green onions.
Serve the vegetarian veggie fried rice hot as a delicious and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
