Beef Mince and Egg Fried Rice
This well-loved dish brings together the rich, savory flavors of beef mince with the comforting familiarity of egg fried rice. Inspired by Asian street cuisine, this modern twist on a traditional staple embraces quick cooking and full flavors, making it perfect for a luxurious yet accessible home dining experience.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil - divided
500 grams ground beef (minced beef) - preferably organic
1 tablespoon soy sauce - low-sodium
2 cloves garlic - finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger - fresh, grated
1 cup peas - frozen, thawed
3 cups rice - cooked, preferably day-old
3 medium eggs - beaten
2 stalks spring onions - thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sesame oil - toasted
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon white pepper - freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, cooking until the mixture is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Push the beef mince to one side of the wok, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and toss in the peas. Sauté for a minute until bright green.
- Add the cold rice, using the spatula to break any clumps. Stir everything together, ensuring that the rice is well combined with the beef mince.
- Move the contents of the wok to one side and pour in the beaten eggs. Let them set slightly, then scramble and mix through the rice.
- Sprinkle the spring onions over the content, then drizzle with sesame oil and stir in the oyster sauce and white pepper.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a deeper, nuttier flavor, use a mix of sesame oil with vegetable oil. Try adding leftover vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for an extra crunch. Use day-old rice to prevent any mushiness.
