Ingredients
Method
- Let’s cook this up step-by-step.
Step 1: Prepare the Steak Marinade
- In a small bowl, mix the baking soda, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and pepper. Add your cubed steak to the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. The baking soda helps tenderize the meat, resulting in a juicy bite.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Whisk together the egg yolks and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add them to the skillet, cooking until just set. Remove them from the skillet and chop them roughly. Set aside.
Step 3: Sauté Aromatics
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Toss in minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir them for about a minute until they become fragrant but don’t let them burn. Now is the time to add the marinated steak. Cook it for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides.
Step 4: Add Rice and Veggies
- Once the steak is cooked, add the chilled rice directly into the pan. Break up any clumps as you combine everything. Stir in the whites of the green onions and continue frying for another 5-7 minutes. You want a slight crispness developing on the rice.
Step 5: Combine Ingredients
- Next, pour in the soy sauce, mixing thoroughly to coat the rice evenly. Add in the chopped eggs and the greens of the green onions, stirring gently. You want everything evenly distributed without overmixing.
Step 6: Serve
- Once all ingredients are heated through, taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve immediately, garnishing with additional green onions if you like.
Notes
To ensure your dish turns out perfectly:
- Use day-old rice for the best texture.
- Keep the steak bite-sized for even cooking.
- Adjust the soy sauce based on your salt preference.
- Experiment with different vegetables such as peas or bell peppers.
