A quick and flavorful stir-fry of tender beef, sweet onions, scrambled eggs, and cold rice tossed in savory soy sauce. A fast and filling dinner option.
2 cups cold, cooked jasmine rice
¾ lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce (for marinade)
1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Marinate beef in 1 tbsp soy sauce and cornstarch for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Sear beef until browned, 1–2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Add more oil and sauté onions until soft and golden. Add garlic and ginger.
Push onions aside, scramble eggs in the same pan, then mix together.
Add rice, breaking it up and pressing into the pan to crisp. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes.
Return beef, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss well to combine.
Garnish with green onions and serve hot.
Use day-old rice for best results.
