Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and half of the black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the steak is marinating, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and measure out your mixed vegetables.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the marinated steak in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, then add the diced onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Then, add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked. Mix with the vegetables.
- Break up any clumps of day-old rice and add it to the skillet. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
- Add the cooked steak back into the skillet along with any juices. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Season with the remaining black pepper and salt to taste. Stir for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to fry slightly and get crispy.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes
- Using day-old rice is key to achieving the perfect texture; freshly cooked rice can make the dish mushy.
- Customize the vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand.
- For a spicy kick, add chili sauce or fresh chilies when adding the soy sauce.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute steak with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of oyster sauce.
