Scale
Main Proteins:
- 200g steak, thinly sliced
- 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers)
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers slightly.
- Mince 2 garlic cloves and sauté them for 30 seconds until they release their aromatic oils.
- Add 200g thinly sliced steak to the pan, spreading pieces evenly and cooking for 2-3 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
- Incorporate 200g peeled shrimp into the skillet, cooking 2 minutes until they transform to a vibrant pink color.
- Toss in 1 cup mixed vegetables like carrots, peas, and bell peppers, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes to maintain their crisp texture.
- Pour 1 cup cooked rice into the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons soy sauce across the mixture, ensuring every grain gets coated evenly.
- Blend all ingredients together, cooking an additional 2 minutes to marry the flavors.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Chop 2 green onions and scatter them across the top for a fresh, zesty finish.
Notes
- Check the steak and shrimp doneness carefully to prevent overcooking, which can make the proteins tough and rubbery.
- Leftover cold rice works best for fried rice because it separates more easily and creates a better texture.
- Prep all ingredients before starting to cook, as this stir-fry moves quickly and requires fast, continuous movement.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos, which offer similar umami flavor.
