Beef fried rice
Have you ever thought to make fried rice with beef mince?
So quick to make no chopping raw meat!
And in my version, Ive opted for even more convenience by making this with frozen diced veg.
Decent amount of veg, protein + starch = complete dinner in a bowl!
Because I totally buy into the whole snap-frozen thing.
Also, excellent fridge clean-out opportunity!
In case you doubt me heres proof of deliciousness, and how fast this is to cook!
Intensely savoury beef fried rice sauce
(Errr, yes, and classy moment dropping rice down my top ).
Light soy sauce provides the salt without overwhelming with soy flavour, and does not stain the rice.
More on different types of soy sauceshere.
Caramelise the beef well for best flavour!
Oyster sauce A load of flavour, all in one sauce!
Its sweet and savoury and add is a neat flavour shortcut in dishes.

AndSteamed Asian Greens with Oyster Sauce!
Without it, the dish will be lacking something.
Substitutewith Mirin, cooking sake or dry sherry.
And (big tip) add a knob of butter at the end and toss through until melted.
White pepper and sugar For seasoning.
Whereas if you use black pepper, you end up with little specks in the sauce.

Beef mince Thats ground beef, to Americans.
I use lean in fried rice.
Pork, chicken and turkey also work great in this recipe!
Frozen veg I use frozen for convenience, in the spirit of this quick n easy recipe.
But hey feel free to be a better person than me and chop up whatever vegetables you want!
Onion and garlic Essential flavour base.
We saute it up first to flavour the oil.
Eggs We scramble these in sesame oil for lovely flavour.
I love fluffy egg bits in my fried rice, plus its extra protein!
Green onion For freshness and colour.
Though you wont destroy this dish if you dont have it.
Mix the saucein a small bowl.
Scramble the eggsin a little sesame oil (love the flavour it adds!)
then remove onto a plate.
(BTW, this fried rice can be cooked in a large wok or a large non-stick pan).
Cook beef with sauce Start by cooking the onion and garlic to get the oil nicely flavoured.
Then cook the beef, breaking it up as you go, until you no longer see raw meat.
Then add 2 tablespoons of the sauce and cook for 2 minutes.
Caramelisation is key for good flavour here!
Rice Add rice and sauce, toss for a couple of minutes until the rice starts to caramelise too.
Toss through egg Then finally, toss through green onion and scrambled egg then serve!
And there you have it!
It really is a quick recipe.
12 minutes to cook up and minimal prep.
Love to know if you give it a go!
