Main Ingredients- 100g Beef (ground or finely chopped)
- 210g Cooked Rice (warmed)
- 1/4 Onion (small)
- 1/2 Scallion (green onion), white and green parts
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Butter (approx. 30g)
Seasoning- Pinch of Black Pepper
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine (e.g., Mirin)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine (e.g., Mirin)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the cooked rice. If you’re using leftover cold rice, warm it slightly in the microwave. This helps prevent it from clumping and ensures it fries up nicely.
Step 2
Finely chop the beef into small pieces, about 0.5 cm (approx. 1/4 inch). If you have ground beef, this step will be much quicker.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the chopped beef with a pinch of black pepper, a pinch of salt, 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, and 1 Tbsp of soy sauce. Mix well to marinate the beef. The cooking wine helps to remove any gamey odors and enhances the flavor.
Step 4
Peel and finely dice the onion into about 0.3 cm (approx. 1/8 inch) pieces. The diced onion will add sweetness as it cooks, enhancing the overall flavor of the fried rice.
Step 5
Finely slice the scallion (green onion). You can use both the white and green parts to get a more robust scallion flavor.
Step 6
Crack the egg into a separate bowl and beat it thoroughly with a fork or chopsticks. Removing the chalazae (the white stringy bits) will result in a smoother scrambled egg.
Step 7
Melt 1 Tbsp of butter in a heated frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced scallions and sauté until fragrant, creating a scallion-infused oil. Once aromatic, add the marinated beef and stir-fry over high heat. Break up any clumps of beef with your spatula as it cooks.
Step 8
When the beef is about 80% cooked, add the diced onion to the pan. Continue to stir-fry over high heat until the onions become translucent.
Step 9
Once the beef and onions are fully cooked, add the warmed rice to the pan. Stir-fry vigorously over high heat, breaking up the rice grains with your spatula to ensure they are separated and evenly cooked.
Step 10
Push the fried rice to one side of the pan, creating space. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter to the empty space and pour in the beaten egg. Scramble the egg until it’s just set. Once the scrambled egg is cooked, gently mix it into the fried rice.
Step 11
Finally, stir-fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. This will help meld the flavors perfectly. Your delicious butter beef fried rice is now ready to enjoy!
