My cashier at the store had a genius idea for leftover veggies

I was chatting with the cashier while buying groceries yesterday. She told me to mix any leftover veggies with rice and eggs for a cheap fried rice. How do you use up veggies before they go bad?

Which veggies work best for that fried rice?

My fridge always has sad carrots and celery that need saving, so I tried that fried rice trick and accidentally made it way too salty. I learned that sturdy veggies like bell peppers and onions work better, they don't get mushy. harper_gibson2 has the right idea asking about which ones are best, because my wilted spinach was a disaster last time.

How much soy sauce did you even use? My fried rice crimes are legendary, like the time I tried to use zucchini and it turned into a sad, wet soup in the pan. Broccoli and carrots usually survive my kitchen experiments, they just get a little charred instead of falling apart. I should probably stick to just boiling water.
