In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic with the sesame oil or broth over medium heat until slightly brown. About 5 minutes.
Add the carrots, peas and red pepper and sauté until browning at the edges. About 5 more minutes.
If using egg, put veggies to the side of the pan and add the egg to the other side. Cook and scramble.
Add rice, Tamari/soy sauce, and vinegar and mix everything until combined.
Turn heat up to medium high and cook while stirring until the rice is browning and starting to crisp a little at the edges. About 5-7 minutes.

Notes
We didn't need any added salt, but if you do you can add some. Or add more Tamari/soy sauce.
You can use any veggies you like with this, just keep the amounts relatively the same. Leftover veggies or frozen veggies work too.
You can add egg to this if you want as well. Use a vegan egg to keep this vegan.
The vinegar helps bring out the flavors, but it can be left out if preferred.
Tips to prep ahead:
Chop veggies. Cook rice.
