Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil; set aside to use later in the recipe.
- Cook the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté onions and garlic: Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Sauté the thinly sliced yellow onion for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Scramble the eggs: Push the onions to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs gently until they are just cooked through.
- Combine rice and sauce: Add the jasmine rice to the skillet, stirring thoroughly to break up any clumps and mix with onions and eggs. Pour the prepared sauce over the rice and stir well to coat evenly.
- Add beef and finish cooking: Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing everything together. Cook for another 2–3 minutes to heat all ingredients through and allow flavors to meld.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped green onions on top, and serve the fried rice hot for the best taste.
Notes
- For best results, use day-old jasmine rice as it is drier and prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy.
- You can substitute chicken or tofu for the beef according to your preference.
- Add vegetables such as peas, carrots, or bell peppers to increase the nutritional value and color.
