JAPANESE BEEF FRIED RICE (CHAHAN)

Japanese Beef Fried Rice (Chahan) image

My boyfriend loved ordering this Japanese beef fried rice in our favorite Japanese restaurant. For dinner one time, I decided to surprise him by making my own...he absolutely loved it. This is a quick and easy all-in-one meal...has rice, meat, and vegetables. If you want a little more meat, you can match it up with some chicken teriyaki or grilled barbecue ribs...yum!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup minced carrot
1 cup thinly sliced green beans
1 medium white onion, minced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces ground beef
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups cooked white rice
1 large egg
¾ cup soy sauce (such as Kikkoman®), or to taste

Steps:

Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Saute carrots, green beans, onion, and garlic in the hot butter until onions are transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef to the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until ground beef is browned and crumbly and carrots are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add rice and mix well.
Crack the egg into a bowl and beat using a fork. Mix into rice mixture until egg is no longer runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce. Taste and add more soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix rice well. When you're satisfied with the seasoning, turn off the heat and serve.
