If you haven’t already, cook the rice and let it cool completely (cold rice works best for fried rice).

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop any fresh vegetables you’re using.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef or beef strips and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.

Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Toss in the diced onion, minced garlic, and mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender.

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.

Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled.

Mix the eggs with the veggies.

Add the cooked beef back to the skillet, followed by the cold rice.

Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and black pepper.

Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated and heated through.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.

Serve hot and enjoy!
