Ingredients

• 3 cups Jasmine rice (cooked)
• 300 grams Beef (such as flank or sirloin), thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, finely chopped
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced (separate white and green parts)
• 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce. Mix well and add the sliced beef to coat it evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until browned. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

Step 3

3. In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the lightly beaten eggs and quickly scramble them for 30 seconds. Once cooked, push them to one side of the wok.

Step 4

4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok and toss in the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onion. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

5. Add the frozen peas and carrots mix to the wok and stir-fry for another 2 minutes, until slightly softened.

Step 6

6. Add the cold, cooked Jasmine rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the oyster sauce. Stir everything together to coat the rice with the sauces.

Step 7

7. Return the cooked beef to the wok and mix it into the rice. Make sure everything is evenly distributed and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

8. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the rice and sprinkle with black pepper (and salt, if needed). Add the green parts of the green onion and give everything a final toss.

Step 9

9. Remove from heat and serve the Chinese Fried Beef and Rice hot. Enjoy!
