Steak Fried Rice – Chow Time!

Step 1: Prepare Aromatics

Mince 5 cloves of garlic and 1.5 tablespoons of ginger. Peel the ginger using the edge of a spoon. Slice half a medium onion.

Step 2: Prepare Eggs

Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of Hondashi powder. Whisk thoroughly with a fork until well combined.

Step 3: Cook Eggs

Heat a wok or large sauté pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Once hot, pour the whisked egg mixture into the wok. Scramble the eggs quickly until just set, then remove them from the wok and chop into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 4: Sauté Onions and Chestnuts

Add another 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the hot wok. Add the sliced onion and water chestnuts. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onions are slightly softened and translucent.

Step 5: Cook Steak

Chop 8 ounces of leftover ribeye steak into small, bite-sized pieces, removing any excess fat or gristle. Add the chopped steak to the wok with the onions and chestnuts. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the steak is heated through and slightly browned.

Step 6: Add Aromatics and Edamame

Add the minced ginger and garlic to the wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1/2 cup of shelled edamame and any leftover steak juice from the container. Continue to stir-fry for another minute.

Step 7: Add Green Onion

Chop one green onion stalk into small pieces and add it to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to allow it to slightly sear.

Step 8: Incorporate Rice

Add 3 cups of day-old cooked rice to the wok. Use a wooden spoon to break up any clumps and mix it thoroughly with the other ingredients. Continue stir-frying for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the rice is heated through and slightly toasted.

Step 9: Season the Fried Rice

Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper. Stir vigorously to evenly distribute all the seasonings and coat the rice.

Step 10: Add Cooked Egg

Add the chopped scrambled egg back into the wok. Mix gently until the egg is well incorporated into the fried rice.

Step 11: Serve and Garnish

Remove the wok from the heat. Serve the steak fried rice in individual bowls. Garnish with the remaining sliced green onion and a final drizzle of 1/2 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil for extra flavor. Enjoy!

• Use day-old or two-day-old cooked rice for the best texture in fried rice.

• Do not burn the garlic; add it at the right time to prevent bitterness.

• Use a spoon to easily peel ginger.

• Utilize a high smoke point oil like avocado oil for stir-frying to achieve high heat without burning.

• Taste and adjust seasonings as you go, as preferences for soy sauce and other flavors can vary.

• Substitute leftover steak with pork, chicken, shrimp, or ground beef.

• Add bean sprouts for an extra crunchy texture.

• Incorporate a pinch of 5-spice powder for a hint of sweetness and aromatic complexity.
