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
- Utilize cold, refrigerated rice from the previous day to ensure optimal texture and prevent clumping during the frying process.
- 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.
- Incorporate finely diced onions and minced garlic into the browned beef, sautéing until the aromatics become translucent and release their fragrant essence.
- Gently fold mixed vegetables into the beef mixture, allowing them to cook briefly while maintaining a crisp, vibrant texture.
- Introduce the chilled rice to the skillet, carefully integrating it with the beef and vegetable medley to ensure uniform distribution and thorough warming.
- 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.
- 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.
