A bold and fast Crispy Chilli Beef Fried Rice, combining tender beef with hot, fluffy rice and vibrant veggies for a delicious, takeout-style meal made at home.

Ingredients

  • Flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • Cornstarch
  • Egg white (optional)
  • Cooked day-old rice (jasmine or long-grain), chilled
  • Garlic, minced
  • Fresh ginger, minced
  • Red chilli (fresh) or chilli flakes, or chilli paste
  • Soy sauce (light)
  • Dark soy sauce (optional for color)
  • Rice vinegar or lime juice
  • Sugar or honey
  • Sesame oil
  • Neutral oil (canola, peanut, or sunflower) for frying
  • Bell pepper strips
  • Scallions
  • Optional: carrots, peas
  • Eggs (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef dry and toss with egg white (optional), cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, dark soy sauce (optional), rice vinegar, sugar or honey, chilli paste or flakes, and sesame oil.
  3. Heat neutral oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high. Fry beef in batches until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack or paper towel.
  4. Pour off excess oil, leaving 1–2 teaspoons. Scramble the beaten eggs until just set, then remove and set aside.
  5. Add garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and other veggies, cooking for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Crumble in the day-old rice and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until hot and slightly toasty. Push to the side.
  7. Pour in the sauce and toss to coat. Add the crispy beef and eggs. Toss quickly to keep beef crisp, adding scallions.
  8. Drizzle with a touch of sesame oil and serve hot.
