# Guide to Cooking:

04 - Add the cooked jasmine rice to the wok and stir for several minutes until heated through. Break up any large clumps with a spatula.
05 - Stir in soy sauce, five-spice powder, optional white pepper, and toasted sesame oil, ensuring even distribution.
06 - Return scrambled eggs to the wok, mix thoroughly with the rice and vegetables, then garnish with the remaining sliced scallions. Serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

02 - Adjust soy sauce and five-spice powder quantities according to taste.
03 - Vegetable selections can be customized; peas, corn, and broccoli are excellent alternatives.
