4cupscooked ricepreferably day-old
2large eggsbeaten
1teaspoonsesame oil
Salt and pepperto taste
2-3spring onionschopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the rice:
If using freshly cooked rice, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool and dry out for at least 30 minutes. Day-old rice is ideal as it is drier and less likely to clump.
Sauté the aromatics:
To your wok or pan, add cooking oil.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pan and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Increase the heat to high. Add the rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps.
Pour in the sauce (soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Chinese cooking wine) Stir well to combine and evenly coat the rice.
Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble them until they are just set.
Mix the scrambled eggs into the rice mixture.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the rice and give it a final stir.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
Garnish with chopped spring onion and serve.
Notes
Ensure your rice is dry and not freshly cooked for the best texture. For best results, cook and refrigerate rice overnight.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce according to your taste preference.
Feel free to add or substitute vegetables as per your liking.
