Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups jasmine rice (or brown rice for added fiber)
- 1 lb beef (flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced; chicken or tofu are great alternatives)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium if desired)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional but adds rich flavor)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, peas – fresh or frozen)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (add ginger for extra flavor)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or sesame oil are great options)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Slice the beef into thin strips for quick cooking and tenderness.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Add mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just tender.
- Stir in soy sauce and optional oyster sauce. Add cooked rice and stir everything together until heated through and well combined.
- Serve hot, topped with green onions or sesame seeds for garnish.
Notes
To enhance texture, avoid overcrowding the pan, and let rice cool before adding it to avoid mushiness. Add nuts like cashews for a crunch or swap in different sauces for flavor variety.
