Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 lb beef, thinly sliced (flank steak or sirloin works best)
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old rice)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Push the onions and garlic to one side of the pan, then pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until cooked through.
  • Add the cooked rice to the pan and break up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through.
  • Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and the cooked beef back into the pan. Stir well to combine and heat everything through.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture in fried rice.
  • You can substitute the beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a different protein option.
  • For extra flavor, add a little chili paste or hot sauce if you like it spicy.
