Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish to prevent sticking.
In the prepared baking dish, add the jasmine rice, vegetable broth, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir to combine.
Spread the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the rice mixture, but do not stir. This helps them cook evenly as the rice absorbs the liquid.
Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the top, then cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
While the rice is baking, whisk the eggs in a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
After 35 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully remove the foil. The liquid should be mostly absorbed, and the rice should be tender.
Create a small well in the center of the rice. Pour the whisked eggs into the well and stir to gently combine them with the rice.
Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through.
Once done, remove the dish from the oven and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish if desired.
Taste and adjust salt or soy sauce as needed. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
Serve hot as a main course or as a side dish to accompany your favorite protein.
