Ground Beef Fried Rice

Ingredients

• cooked cold rice 4 cups
• ground beef 1.25 lb
• eggs 3 unit
• peas/carrots 12–16 oz 16 oz
• soy sauce 3 tbsp
• rice vinegar 1 tbsp
• honey 1 tsp
• garlic 2 cloves
• ginger (grated) 1 tsp

Steps

1. Mix Sauce ingredients in a small bowl, then set aside.
2. Scramble eggs – Heat sesame oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add egg and cook, stirring gently, so it is softly scrambled. Remove onto a plate.
3. Cook beef – Heat vegetable oil in the same pan over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, for 2 minutes or until you no longer see raw beef. Add 2 tablespoons of sauce and cook for 1 minute.
4. Veg / caramelise beef – Add frozen vegetables and cook for 2 minutes or until the beef gets nicely caramelised – this is the trick to great flavour so do not shortcut this!
5. Rice & sauce – Add rice and remaining sauce. Toss for 2 minutes until the sauce is well dispersed throughout the rice and the rice grains start to caramelise a bit.
6. Egg & green onion – Then add scrambled eggs and green onion, give it a quick toss to disperse then divide between bowls. EAT!
