Preparation
- Ensure your rice is cooked and thoroughly chilled. Mince the garlic and ginger, then chop the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl.
Cooking
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until fully browned. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Sauté the white parts of the green onions, minced garlic, and ginger for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Add the frozen peas and carrots blend, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Push the vegetables to one side, then add the day-old rice to the empty side and pour the soy sauce and oyster sauce over it. Stir everything together, breaking up rice clumps, and cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through and sauces are absorbed.
- Create a well in the center of the rice and pour in the beaten eggs. Quickly scramble the eggs until just set, then fold them into the rice and vegetable mixture.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the pan and toss everything to combine. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss again, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
- Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and serve hot.
Notes
For best results, use day-old chilled rice as it prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy. Adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to your taste. You can also add a dash of sriracha for a bit of heat!
