  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Shaoxing rice wine (or dry sherry)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) sesame oil

  • 1 inch (2.5cm) ginger, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup (approx. 150g) mixed frozen vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 3 cups (approx. 450g) cooked and cooled long-grain rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions:

  1. Combine sliced beef with marinade ingredients in a bowl. Toss to coat and set aside for at least 15 minutes (or longer in the fridge).
  2. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok/skillet over high heat. Add marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove from wok and set aside.
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok/skillet. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add diced onion and frozen vegetables and cook until heated through.
  5. Push the vegetables to one side of the wok/skillet. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked but still slightly soft.
  6. Add the cooked rice to the wok/skillet, breaking it up with your spatula. Stir-fry to combine with the vegetables and eggs.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the wok/skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce. Stir-fry until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
