Baked Onion Beef Fried Rice with Mixed Vegetables

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 large onion, diced

• 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp oyster sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s hot and ready for baking once your rice mixture is prepped.

Brown the Beef

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. This should take about 5–7 minutes.

Add Aromatics and Veggies

Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes, or until the onion turns soft and translucent.

Add the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2–3 minutes, just until heated through.

Incorporate the Rice and Sauces

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spoon or spatula.

Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring well to evenly coat the rice and meat mixture.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer and Bake

Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the top gets a little golden and slightly crisp.

Cool and Garnish

Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes to settle.

Sprinkle with sliced green onions for a fresh finish before serving.
