Cooking StepsHow to cook Beef and Green Bean Fried Rice step by step
-
Step 1Blanch the green beans in boiling water with a drizzle of oil until slightly tender.
-
Step 2Dice the blanched green beans. Roughly chop the beef into small pieces. Marinate the beef with chicken powder, a splash of soy sauce, and a pinch of cornstarch — mix well, then drizzle in a little oil and set aside.
-
Step 3Dice the onion. I prefer not to cut it too fine for a better bite.

Step 4Scramble the eggs in a pan until cooked through, breaking them into small pieces.

Step 5Heat the wok with oil, add the marinated beef and stir-fry over high heat until half-cooked.

-
Step 7Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.
-
Step 8Heat the wok with oil, add the rice and stir-fry over high heat. Season with a pinch of salt and keep stir-frying until the rice is fragrant and lightly toasted.
-
Step 9Add the scrambled eggs, beef, green beans, and onion back into the wok. Toss everything together with the rice. Taste and adjust seasoning with a little more soy sauce if needed. Garnish with cilantro and scallions.
