7. Add the salt required for the veggies. It will help to flavor the veggies, also make them cook fast.

it is a personal preference here, if you want the veggies to be soft and completely cooked, cover the pan and cook for 5-8 mins. Saute in regular intervals. 

If you want the veggies to be crunchy, cook them only for 3 mins, do not cover the pan.

9. Once the veggies are cooked as per the preference, add soy sauce and mix well.

10. Add the cooked rice 

11. Add black pepper powder, salt required for rice and mix well.
