Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 200g thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye steak
  • 200g peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Rice & Vegetables

  • 3 cups day-old cooked jasmine or long-grain rice
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 3 green onions, chopped

Seasonings & Aromatics

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Slice the steak thinly against the grain, peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Finely chop carrots, peas, and green onions. Whisk the eggs lightly in a bowl.
  2. Cook the Proteins: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Quickly sear the steak slices until browned but still tender, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes, then set aside with the steak.
  3. Scramble the Eggs and Sauté Vegetables: Add a little more oil to the pan and scramble the eggs until just cooked through. Remove and combine with the proteins. Next, sauté minced garlic and ginger briefly until fragrant, then add carrots, peas, and green onions, cooking until tender-crisp.
  4. Combine Rice and Seasonings: Add the day-old rice to the pan with the vegetables, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry everything together, then pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing well to evenly coat the rice and vegetables.
  5. Add Back the Proteins and Eggs: Return the cooked steak, shrimp, and scrambled eggs to the pan. Mix gently to combine without breaking the rice. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through and blend all flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold, day-old rice for best texture and to avoid sogginess.
  • Cook on high heat to achieve a quick sear and smoky flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook proteins in batches if necessary.
  • Have all ingredients prepped before cooking as the process is quick.
  • Add soy sauce gradually to control saltiness.
