Fried Rice with Meat

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove beef to a plate.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Crack the 3 eggs directly into the skillet and scramble them until just set, about 2 minutes. Transfer eggs to the plate with beef.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and the white parts of the 4 sliced green onions. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the 4 cups cooked rice to the skillet. Press it into an even layer and let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to get crispy bits.

Step 5

Stir-fry the rice for 3-4 minutes, breaking up clumps, until the rice is hot and slightly toasted.

Step 6

Return the beef and eggs to the skillet. Add the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 0.5 tsp salt. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the remaining green onion tops. Serve hot.
