Ingredients
Scale
- 500g beef sirloin or flank steak, cut into thin strips
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 fresh red chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Coat the beef strips in a mixture of cornstarch and a pinch of salt, tossing to coat evenly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the beef in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan, add more oil if needed, sauté the minced garlic and chopped chilies until fragrant.
- Add sliced bell peppers and cook until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Return the crispy beef to the pan and mix well.
- Add cooked rice, stirring to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for better texture and to prevent clumping.
- Adjust spiciness by modifying the amount of red chilies used.
- For extra crunch, re-fry the beef briefly if it loses crispness upon storage.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
