牛肉炒饭 (Niúròu Chǎofàn)
Savor the delightful combination of tender beef and perfectly fried rice that will have your taste buds dancing tonight!
Begin by cooking the rice according to the package instructions, allowing it to cool. This step usually takes about 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, chop the beef into small bite-sized pieces and season with a tablespoon of soy sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Next, add the chopped carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the peas and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
Add the cooked rice and the previously cooked beef back to the skillet. Pour in the remaining soy sauce and mix everything together, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Finally, stir in the chopped green onion for added flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Savory Beef Fried Rice!
