Description
Onion Beef Fried Rice is a classic Asian dish that’s quick, satisfying, and packed with savory flavors. This easy-to-make recipe combines tender ground beef, aromatic onions, and fresh vegetables with fluffy, flavorful rice for a meal the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old and cold)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, or frozen mix)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a large skillet or wok, heat a bit of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Toss in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2–3 minutes until heated through and slightly tender.
4. Add the cold, cooked rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps and stir everything together evenly.
5. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry everything together for 3–5 minutes, letting the rice absorb the sauces and get a bit crispy in spots.
6. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Give it one final toss and serve hot.
Notes
To achieve the best texture and flavor in your Onion Beef Fried Rice, follow these tips:
– Use Cold, Cooked Rice: Day-old, refrigerated rice works best as it’s drier and less prone to clumping.
– Cook at High Heat: Stir-fry the rice over high heat to get that coveted crispy texture.
– Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Work in batches if needed to ensure the rice gets a good sear.
– Add Sauces at the End: Pouring in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil at the end helps the flavors shine.
