  Prepare the beef

  If you are meticulous, after buying the beef, you can rinse it quickly and let it drain. Then, use a knife to cut it into small pieces, and put it into a meat grinder to grind it finely.

  Tip on cutting beef to avoid toughness:

  • First, identify and recognize the muscle fibers of the beef you bought.
  • Then, use a sharp knife to cut across the muscle fibers to retain the sweetness of the meat and prevent it from being tough.

  Stir-fry the ingredients

  First, rinse the rice (that has been soaked) briefly under running water and drain.

  Add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pot on the stove over medium heat to begin stir-frying the beef. While stir-frying, use a spoon to break up the beef, and stir-fry until the meat firms up, then add the minced garlic and prepared onion, and stir-fry the mixture for about 2 minutes.

  Next, add all the drained rice to the pot, stir-frying the mixture continuously until the rice grains start to dry out and turn slightly yellow.

  Finally, add the prepared vegetables and stir-fry together, mixing the ingredients for another 2 minutes.

  Tip: When adding the vegetables, stir-fry over high heat to prevent them from releasing too much water.
