Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the main ingredients for our fried rice. Finely chop any leftover vegetables in your fridge, such as mushrooms, broccoli, and bell peppers. Thinly slice the garlic. If you don’t have ground beef, diced canned ham also makes a delicious substitute.
Step 2
Heat some cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; the goal is to infuse the oil with its aroma.
Step 3
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the ground beef to the pan. Break it up with your spatula and stir-fry until it’s nicely browned and cooked through.
Step 4
When the beef is almost cooked, add all the chopped vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, etc.) to the pan. Stir-fry over high heat for about 1-2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Keeping the vegetables slightly crisp is key to a great texture.
Step 5
Now it’s time for the rice. Add the bowl of leftover rice to the pan. Pour in the oyster sauce and soy sauce. Stir and toss everything together with a spatula, ensuring the rice is well combined and heated through. Taste the fried rice and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well blended. Your delicious beef fried rice is now ready!
