- 3 handfuls beef brisket (approx. 150-200g)

- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 6 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup or rice syrup
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin, etc.)
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re making a super tender beef brisket fried rice that kids absolutely adore. My little ones love beef brisket on its own, but when I make it into fried rice, they eat it up without a second thought! This dish is made with a mother’s wish for her child to eat a balanced meal, including rice and vegetables, not just the meat. Get ready for a mealtime miracle where they’ll empty their bowls!
Step 2
Let’s start by making the delicious sauce that will give our fried rice its amazing flavor. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, 6 Tbsp of soy sauce, 2 Tbsp of corn syrup or rice syrup, 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, and 1 Tbsp of vinegar. Mix them all together well. You can substitute rice syrup for corn syrup, and feel free to adjust the sweetness and saltiness to your preference. Adding a tablespoon of vinegar to the sauce is a secret tip that enhances the savory notes of the meat and vegetables, making the overall flavor deep and harmonious!
Step 3
Next, it’s time to prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the onion into very small pieces, perfect for little mouths. Making sure the pieces are bite-sized is key for easy eating! (If you’re using green onions, finely chop the white parts.)
Step 4
Now, let’s heat up a pan and cook the beef brisket first. Add the beef brisket to the pan and cook it until it’s nicely browned and fragrant. As the delicious aroma of the cooking meat fills the air, your kids will likely come running to the kitchen, curious about what you’re making. They really do love meat! (If your child dislikes long strands of meat, you can cut it into smaller pieces with scissors beforehand.)
Step 5
Once the beef brisket is partially cooked, use kitchen scissors to cut it into bite-sized pieces for your children. Cutting it now makes it easier to mix evenly with the rice later, preventing the ingredients from getting tangled.
Step 6
If there’s too much oil from cooking the beef, gently dab it away with a paper towel. It’s best to avoid making it too greasy. Now, add all the finely chopped onion (or green onion) to the pan with the beef brisket and stir-fry until softened. Cook until the vegetables become translucent and tender. Imagine ‘making it delicious~’ as you stir; it really makes a difference!
Step 7
Once the vegetables are tender, pour all the pre-made sauce into the pan and stir-fry everything together quickly over medium-low heat for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the vegetables and beef brisket evenly.
Step 8
When the sauce has harmonized with the ingredients, add the 3 servings of warm cooked rice. Use a spatula to gently break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry until the rice grains are well coated with the delicious sauce. Continue stir-frying until the rice grains are slightly separate and fluffy. Your delicious fried rice is almost ready!
Step 9
Voilà! Your appetizing, golden-brown beef brisket fried rice is ready to be served. A generous portion in a bowl will surely widen your child’s eyes. This nutrient-rich and incredibly flavorful fried rice is the perfect meal for your little one.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle some black sesame seeds over the fried rice for an extra touch of visual appeal and nutrition. (Optional: You can also add a small side of baby greens if desired.) Now it’s time to enjoy this delicious meal!
