Ingredients

Scale
  1. 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old and cold)
  2. 1 pound ground beef
  3. 1 medium onion, chopped
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, etc.)
  6. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  7. 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  8. 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  9. Salt and pepper to taste
  10. Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Use cold, day-old rice for best results. It’s less likely to clump and will fry up nicely.
  2. Cook the beef: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened and fragrant.
  4. Add vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for a few minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  5. Combine with rice: Add the cold cooked rice to the skillet. Stir everything together so the rice gets evenly mixed with the beef and vegetables.
  6. Season: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to coat the rice evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot: Garnish with green onions or cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best texture, use cold rice that’s at least a day old.
  • Feel free to swap the mixed vegetables for other veggies like peas, corn, or bell peppers, depending on your preference.
  • Add a fried egg on top for an extra touch of flavor.
