- 1 Tbsp minced garlic

- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper (optional)
- 1/2 onion (finely minced)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp chopped green onion

- 1 tsp sesame oil

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s marinate the ground beef to enhance the flavor of the fried rice. In a bowl, combine 150g of ground beef with 1/2 finely minced onion, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp chopped green onion to help remove any gamey odors. Add 1 Tbsp soy sauce for umami, 1 Tbsp mirin for depth, 1 tsp oligosaccharide for a subtle sweetness (which you can adjust), and 1 tsp sesame oil for nutty aroma. Season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper, then mix everything together thoroughly. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes. This marinating step will make the beef incredibly tender and flavorful.
Step 2
Now, let’s start stir-frying! Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated ground beef and use chopsticks or a spatula to break it apart into smaller pieces, ensuring it cooks evenly. Continue to stir-fry until the beef is completely cooked through. You’ll notice a wonderful aroma as the beef cooks.
Step 3
Once the beef is cooked, add the 2 bowls of brown rice to the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry it together with the beef. It’s important to thoroughly combine the rice with the beef and its seasonings so that every grain of rice absorbs the flavors. Keep stir-frying until the rice grains appear slightly fluffy and well-separated.
Step 4
After stir-frying the beef and rice, turn off the heat. Now, add the 5 fresh kale leaves, roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces. Gently mix the kale into the hot rice using the residual heat of the pan. Cooking kale for too long can alter its color and diminish its nutrients, so simply tossing it with the rice off the heat preserves its fresh flavor and satisfying crunch. Once everything is well combined, your delicious Kale and Beef Fried Rice is ready to be served!
