Main Ingredients- Beef for stew (e.g., brisket) 150g
- Warm cooked rice 2 bowls
- Scallions or the white part of leeks, about 10cm, 5 stalks
- Cooking oil 2 Tbsp
- Salt 1/2 tsp
- Black pepper 1/2 tsp
Seasoning- Oyster sauce 2 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide 1 Tbsp
- Sesame oil 1/2 Tbsp
- Sesame seeds 1 Tbsp
- Oyster sauce 2 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide 1 Tbsp
- Sesame oil 1/2 Tbsp
- Sesame seeds 1 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wide pan or wok over medium heat. Add the prepared 150g of beef, season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir-fry until the beef is about half cooked. Cooking over medium heat rather than high heat prevents the juices from escaping, ensuring the beef stays tender.
Step 2
Finely chop 5 scallions or about 10cm of the white part of leeks and add them to the pan with the beef. Stir-fry together until the beef is fully cooked and the aroma of the scallions is released. Adding scallions helps to neutralize any meat odor and enriches the flavor.
Step 3
Once the beef and scallions are fully cooked and a delicious aroma rises, pour 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce along the sides of the pan. Pouring oyster sauce directly onto the hot pan enhances its flavor. Continue to stir-fry over medium heat, ensuring the sauce is well combined with the beef.
Step 4
After the oyster sauce has permeated the beef, add 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide. Oligosaccharide gently balances the saltiness of the oyster sauce and adds a subtle sweetness, further enhancing the fried rice’s flavor. Stir well together.
Step 5
The aroma is so good, it would be delicious to eat this beef mixture on its own! The tasty beef mixture for frying is ready. Now, it’s time to prepare the rice.
Step 6
Add 2 bowls of cooked rice to the pan. For fried rice, it’s better to use cooled rice (leftover or refrigerated) rather than freshly cooked hot rice, as it prevents clumping and results in fluffier, tastier fried rice. Stir and mix the rice with the beef and vegetables as you fry.
Step 7
As the rice is frying and mixing well with the beef and vegetables, taste the rice to check the seasoning. If it needs more flavor, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce (total of 2 tablespoons used) over the rice. Oyster sauce conveniently adds both umami and saltiness.
Step 8
Once the rice is fried to a fluffy texture and has a mouthwatering color, reduce the heat slightly and drizzle in 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. The nutty aroma of sesame oil will complete the fried rice’s flavor. Stir quickly one more time.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the top for garnish. The nutty flavor of sesame seeds will further enrich the fried rice.
Step 10
And there you have it! A satisfying and delicious oyster sauce beef fried rice, perfect for a quick and hearty meal, even on busy mornings. With just oyster sauce, you’ve already achieved 80% of the flavor for fried rice. Thanks to the oyster sauce, today’s meal was again simple, healthy, and satisfying. Enjoy your meal!
