Combing my love for fried rice and lemongrass beef stir fry to make my super easy lemongrass beef fried rice.

QUICK TIPS TO MAKE THE PERFECT LEMONGRASS BEEF FRIED RICE 

cooked rice
#1 WHAT TYPE OF RICE TO USE & HOW TO MAKE RICE? 

I get asked this question ALL THE TIME. To be honest, you can use ANY rice of your choice. I find basmati rice is the easiest for beginners, as it doesn’t become soggy and is the most forgiving when it comes to frying. 

Always wash your rice until the water is no longer white; this will clean the rice and wash off all the starch, preventing the rice from becoming soggy. 

I like to use a 1:1 ratio of rice and water when making rice. I cook my rice in a rice cooker, but you can also cook rice on a stovetop. QUICK TIP, add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to prevent the rice from becoming overly sticky.

#2 ALWAYS USE COLD, COOKED RICE 

Using COLD, COOKED RICE is the most important of making fried rice. Cold-cooked rice prevents the rice from becoming overcooked and soggy. 

My number one hack for making fried rice is storing the rice in reusable plastic bags once the rice has fully cooled down. 

I add around 2 portions of rice per bag; not only does this store the rice in a more compact way for your fridge, but this also makes it super easy to break apart the rice. Store the bags in the fridge overnight; the next day, you should be able to easily break apart the rice outside of the bag. 

#3 OIL IS YOUR BEST FRIEND 

I will not lie; when it comes to making fried rice, OIL will be your best friend. If you have ever wondered why restaurant fried rice tastes delicious, it’s because they add TONS of oil. The more oil you use, the easier it will be to fry. I like to “season” the oil with the white parts of the green onion. The oil will become super fragrant, adding depth to your fried rice.

Lemongrass Beef Fried Rice

Ingredients 

Beef 
  • 1.5 lb Beef 
  • 2 tablespoon garlic, minced 
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass, minced 
  • 1.5 tablespoon fish sauce
  • A pinch of sugar 
  • 1 tsp of Baking Soda 
  • 2 tablespoon oil 
Lemongrass sauce 
  • 2 tablespoon fish sauce 
  • 1.5 tablespoon sugar 
  • 0.5 tablespoon oyster sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon red chili (optional) 
Fried Rice 
  • 3-4 cups cold cooked rice 
  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped 
  • 3 shallots, sliced 
  • 0.5 tablespoon garlic, minced 
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass, minced 
  • 2 eggs, optional 
  • Cilantro, optional 
  1. Cut beef into thin slices, making sure to cut against the grain and sideways to get thin slices. You can freeze the beef ahead of time for 20 minutes, this way the beef will be easy to slice up.
  2. Marinate the beef with garlic, lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, baking soda, and oil for 20 minutes. 
  3. In another bowl, mix fish sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, and red chili; this will be the glaze for the fried rice. 
  4. Finally, add two eggs to another bowl, whisk, and season with salt and pepper. 
  5. Turn the heat up to medium-high, and drizzle in a little bit of oil. Once the pan is hot, add in the beef, and pan-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the beef is slightly brown. Remove and set aside. 
  6. Next, add sliced shallots, white parts of the green onion, lemongrass, and minced garlic, and saute for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. 
  7. Push everything to the side, drizzle in the egg, set it for 30 seconds, and scramble everything together. 
  8. Lastly, add in the rice, add back in the beef, and drizzle on the glaze. Saute on high heat for 2-3 minutes before adding the rest of the green onion, and saute on high heat for another 1 minute. 
  9. Garnish with cilantro, and enjoy!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
