3. beef with lettuce fried rice

INGREDIENTS

SERVES 2

150 grams of minced beef 

1 third romaine lettuce 

2 cloves garlic 

2 eggs 

1 cup rice 

DIRECTIONS

Step 1: First we marinate the mince beef, I added ½ table spoon of rice wine, 1/3 tablespoon of sesame oil and ½ tablespoon of soy sauce, mixed it together and let is sit while you prepped the other ingredients. 

Step 2: Then,  like our previous 2 rice, chop up the spring onions, mince up a couple cloves of garlic, and then whisk up a couple eggs.

Step 3: After you wash the romaine lettuce, chop it up lengthwise.

Step 4: Add some oil to the pan and the first thing we are cooking up is the minced beef. Give it a good stir, break it apart until it’s all cooked. Once that’s cooked, take it out.

Step 5: Then add in your garlic into the wok. Then your eggs. Cook the eggs til it’s about 60% cooked before adding in your rice.

Step 6: Add in your rice and stir it in as quick as possible until each grain is evenly coated with egg.

Step 7: Add your minced beef back into the rice, give it a good stir and once it’s thoroughly stirred in, add in a tablespoon of soy sauce just on the side of the rice before adding in your chopped lettuce. 

Step 8: Add salt, white pepper and maybe more soy sauce to taste and you’re pretty much done!
