- Day-old rice pan-frying ↗

Steps
- 1
Step 1
Dice the carrot and set aside with the green peas.
✅ Done when: Carrot is cut into even small dice and set aside with the peas.
- 2
Step 2
Dice the onion. The corn is canned; rinse it under water, then set aside.
✅ Done when: Onion is diced and the rinsed corn is drained and ready.
- 3
Step 3
Normally the beef is cut into small cubes. Since the beef at home was frozen, the author used thinly sliced beef (fatty beef slices) chopped up instead, which also works and is even more fragrant.
✅ Done when: Beef is cut into small, evenly sized pieces.
- 4
Step 4
Use rice, ideally day-old leftover rice, which is easier to break up and stir-fry.
✅ Done when: Rice grains are loose and separate, not clumped.
Heat oil in a pan; when the oil is about 50% heated (medium, shimmering), add the onion and stir-fry until fragrant.
✅ Done when: Onion is softened and aromatic.
Add the beef and stir-fry until it changes color.
✅ Done when: Beef is no longer pink on the outside.
Add the green peas and diced carrot and stir-fry.
✅ Done when: Vegetables are evenly mixed in and heated through.
- 8
Step 8
Add the corn kernels.
✅ Done when: Corn is evenly distributed through the mixture.
Add the rice, then add 1 spoonful of light soy sauce and 1 small spoonful of salt, and stir-fry evenly. The soy sauce is mainly for umami — don't use too much or it will darken the rice.
✅ Done when: Rice is loose, evenly seasoned, and every grain is coated.
- 10
Step 105 min
Off heat
Spread the fried rice evenly in a baking dish without packing it down, and preheat the oven for 5 minutes.
✅ Done when: Rice forms an even, level layer in the dish and the oven is preheated.

Step 1120 min
Medium-high heat
Cover the rice with mozzarella cheese, sprinkle black pepper on top, and bake on the middle rack at 350°F (180°C) with top and bottom heat for 15–20 minutes.
✅ Done when: Cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden on top.
- 12
Step 12
Watch after about 15 minutes — ovens vary; when the cheese surface is bubbling and golden, it's done.
✅ Done when: Cheese surface is bubbling and golden in color.
- 13
Step 13
With a little less cheese there is less stretch; you can eat it straight from the dish with a spoon without stirring.
✅ Done when: Dish is ready to serve hot from the oven.
- 14
Step 14
The author prefers to stir the cheese thoroughly into the rice until everything is stringy and stretchy before eating.
✅ Done when: Cheese is fully mixed in with a stretchy, stringy texture.
