Instructions

Marinate steak slices with dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, garlic, sugar, and baking soda. Let sit 15–20 minutes to tenderize.
Whisk eggs with sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a hot pan until just set, then set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add white parts of green onions and marinated steak. Stir-fry until browned and cooked through, 2–3 minutes. Remove steak and set aside.
Add remaining oil, garlic, green beans, and peas. Stir-fry 1–2 minutes until veggies are just tender.
Add day-old rice, breaking up any clumps. Toss to combine with vegetables.
Stir in fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until rice is evenly coated.
Return steak and scrambled eggs to the pan. Add green parts of green onions and toss everything until heated through.
Optionally finish with a splash of sesame oil or a pat of butter. Serve hot.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture and separation.
Baking soda tenderizes the beef and is essential for soft, juicy steak.
High heat is key for searing and flavor development.
Prep ingredients before cooking, as stir-frying goes quickly.
Swap veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms for variety.
Use chicken, shrimp, or tofu as alternate proteins.
Store leftovers in airtight containers; refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat gently with a splash of water or oil.
