  3. Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and red bell pepper, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
  4. Add the cooked brown rice, corn, and green peas to the wok. Pour in the soy sauce and Sriracha, stirring to combine. Cook until heated through, about 5-10 minutes.

For added depth, consider using freshly grated ginger along with the garlic. Using day-old rice helps improve texture. Toast peanuts for enhanced flavor.
