Savory beef tomato fried rice topped with creamy egg and a savory, sweet sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cooked white rice (Preferably day-old rice)
  • 1 small Carrot
  • 1/2 White onion
  • 1/4 Green bell pepper
  • 1/4 lb Ground beef
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil (Divided)
  • 8 Eggs (Divided)
  • 2 tbsp Milk (Divided)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (Divided)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1.5 cups Beef broth

Directions

  1. 1

    Finely chop one carrot, 1/4 of a bell pepper and half an onion.

  2. 2

    Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add 2 tbsp of flour and stir constantly for about 5 minutes until the roux turns darker in color. Add in 1 tbsp or Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp of ketchup, 2 tbsp of oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp of honey. Stir to combine and then add in 1 and 1/2 cups of beef broth. Let sauce thicken for about 2-3 minutes then set aside on low heat while we prep the rice.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add in a quarter pound of ground beef. Break the beef into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, season with salt and pepper and cook until browned. When the meat is done, add in your chopped veggies and cook for about 5 minutes. 

  4. 4

    Add in 2 cups of cooked rice. Toss the rice to combine with the meat and veggies and then add in 2 tablespoons of ketchup and a ladle-full of your omurice sauce. Plate your rice by putting half of it into a small bowl, pack it down a little, then flip it onto a plate. Then shape the rice into a football shape with your hands.

  5. 5

    Crack 4 eggs into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of milk and a quarter teaspoon of salt. Whisk the eggs until they are very runny and have no clumps.
