Must Try

Random Image Popup


Wow, I have found another delicious beef fried rice with magic ingredients: pickled mustard green.

The pickled mustard green is also known as Sichuan Suancai. Its lovely sour taste highlights beef. It also pairs well with other proteins like pork and chicken, making the fried rice unique and special. You can purchase it at Asian stores or, if possible, make it at home following this instruction.

We have also introduced lots of yummy stir-fried rice recipes. If you love stir-fried rice, remember to check the following.

If you don’t have pickled mustard green, try Kimchi. Fermentation creates a unique combination of tangy, sour, and umami flavors. So they are similar in flavor and taste, and you can get a similar taste.

Ingredients

  • Two eggs
  • beef steak, cut into shreds
  • 2 cups leftover rice
  • Three scallions, cut into sections
  • Five coriander, cut into sections
  • Pickled mustard green, chopped

Marinating the beef can help give a primary savory flavor to the beef, creating different taste layers from the fried rice.

  • 1.5 tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp. light soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp. Chinese cooking wine, Shaoxing wine
  • 2 tsp. corn starch
