- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced

- 2 cups cooked rice preferably day-old
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Beef
- Slice beef thinly against the grain. Toss with cornflour, salt and black pepper to coat evenly.
Heat Oil
- Add vegetable oil to a wok or large pan. Heat over medium-high until shimmering.
Fry the Beef
- Add beef in batches. Cook quickly until crispy outside but still tender inside. Remove and set aside.
Cook Onion and Garlic
- In the same pan, stir-fry onion and garlic until fragrant and slightly soft, about two minutes.
Add Peppers and Chilies
- Add red bell pepper and green chilies. Stir-fry for two more minutes until slightly tender.
Mix Sauces
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, chili sauce and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Add Rice
- Add cooked rice to the pan. Stir well to separate grains and heat through.
Return Beef
- Add crispy beef back to the pan. Pour sauce over everything. Toss well to coat evenly.
Garnish
- Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top. Mix lightly.
Serve Hot
- Serve immediately while beef is crispy and rice is warm.
Notes
- Use sirloin or ribeye for tender beef.
- Adjust chili sauce for mild or spicy flavor.
- Use day-old rice for best texture.
- Add vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or snow peas.
- For extra crunch, double fry the beef briefly.
- Drizzle sesame oil before serving for aroma.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
