Notes

  1. Use Thin Beef Slices: They cook fast and stay soft.
  2. Use a Very Hot Pan: That gives the best sizzle and helps crisp the rice.
  3. Don’t Stir too Soon: Let the rice crisp a little at the bottom for better texture.
  4. Add Butter Last: So it melts evenly and coats everything with a rich flavor.
  5. Taste the Sauce First: Adjust it by adding more soy sauce, honey, or pepper as needed.
 
You can use chicken or tofu if you don’t eat beef. Just keep the slices thin so they cook quickly.
