Beef fried rice
Recipe video above. GREAT quick dinner to make with beef mince, complete with veg, protein and starch! The trick is using a strong savoury sauce and caramelise the beef well for extra delicious flavour.Frozen cooked rice is a staple in my house. Don't have day-old-cooked rice? Don't try this

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce ((Note 1))
- 2 tsp light soy sauce ((Note 1))
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce ((Note 2))
- 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((Note 3))
- 1/2 tsp white sugar
- 1/8 tsp white pepper ((sub black))
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 eggs (, lightly whisked)
- 2 tbsp oil ((peanut, veg, canola or other neutral oil))
- 1/2 onion (, finely diced)
- 2 g arlic cloves (, finely minced)
- 250 g / 8 oz beef mince / ground beef ((I use lean, Note 4))
- 2 cups frozen diced carrots, peas, corn ( (still frozen fine!) (or fresh diced veg))
- 3 cups day-old cooked rice ((1c uncooked rice = 3c cooked, Note 5))
- 1/2 cup finely sliced green onions ((1-2 stems))
Steps
-
Mix Sauce ingredients in a small bowl, then set aside.
-
Scramble eggs - Heat sesame oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add egg and cook, stirring gently, so it is softly scrambled. Remove onto a plate.
-
Cook beef - Heat vegetable oil in the same pan over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, for 2 minutes or until you no longer see raw beef. Add 2 tablespoons of sauce and cook for 1 minute.
-
Veg / caramelise beef - Add frozen vegetables and cook for 2 minutes or until the beef gets nicely caramelised - this is the trick to great flavour so do not shortcut this!
-
Rice & sauce - Add rice and remaining sauce. Toss for 2 minutes until the sauce is well dispersed throughout the rice and the rice grains start to caramelise a bit.
-
Egg & green onion - Then add scrambled eggs and green onion, give it a quick toss to disperse then divide between bowls. EAT!
