Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (710 ml) cooked rice
  • 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Seasonings:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) mixed vegetables
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Utilize cold, refrigerated rice from the previous day to ensure optimal texture and prevent clumping during the frying process.
  2. Preheat a large wok or skillet to medium-high temperature, then introduce cooking oil and ground beef, methodically breaking down the meat until it achieves a rich, caramelized brown coloration.
  3. Incorporate finely diced onions and minced garlic into the browned beef, sautéing until the aromatics become translucent and release their fragrant essence.
  4. Gently fold mixed vegetables into the beef mixture, allowing them to cook briefly while maintaining a crisp, vibrant texture.
  5. Introduce the chilled rice to the skillet, carefully integrating it with the beef and vegetable medley to ensure uniform distribution and thorough warming.
  6. Drizzle soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil across the rice, thoroughly blending the ingredients to create a harmonious flavor profile. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to personal preference.
  7. Transfer the fried rice to serving plates, garnishing with freshly chopped green onions or cilantro for an added layer of brightness and aroma. Serve immediately while piping hot.

Notes

  • Choose day-old cold rice to prevent clumping and achieve perfect texture during frying.
  • Use high heat when cooking ground beef to develop a delicious caramelized exterior and rich flavor.
  • Quickly stir-fry vegetables to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant color, avoiding overcooking.
  • Customize the dish by swapping ground beef with chicken, tofu, or shrimp for dietary preferences and variety.
