Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked jasmine rice (preferably a day old)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 300 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop and measure all ingredients before starting the cooking process to ensure smooth preparation and timing.
- Heat Oil: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat to get the pan ready for stir-frying.
- Cook Beef: Add thinly sliced beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef and set it aside.
- Sauté Onions: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and softened.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and continue sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- Cook Eggs: Push the onions and garlic to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble gently until just set.
- Add Rice: Incorporate the cooked jasmine rice into the skillet, breaking up any clumps by pressing and stirring with a spatula for even distribution.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the pan along with the frozen mixed vegetables, stirring to combine all components evenly.
- Season: Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Add salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all ingredients are well coated with the seasoning.
- Finish Cooking: Continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the rice is heated through.
- Add Green Onions: Toss in the chopped green onions just before serving to add freshness and color to the dish.
Notes
- Using day-old cooked rice helps to achieve better texture and prevents the rice from becoming mushy.
- Thinly slicing the beef ensures quick cooking and tenderness.
- You can substitute beef sirloin with other protein options like chicken or tofu for variation.
- Adjust soy and oyster sauce quantities to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Ensure all ingredients are prepped before heating the pan to maintain a fast and efficient stir-frying process.
