Units
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
- 1/2 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef slices and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then pour in beaten eggs. Scramble until just set and push to one side.
- Add peas, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add the rice and beef back to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- Use chilled, day-old rice for best texture and less stickiness.
- You can substitute beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Add a dash of chili sauce for extra heat if desired.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
