How Much Beef Do You Need to Make Leftover Roast Beef Fried Rice?

As much as you've got left.

Fried Rice with Leftover Beef is great because you really can use what you've got.

300g of beef is ideal to serve 4. But, if you've got less, add more vegetables or rice. You could even cook up some other meats, like a chicken breast or two and call it special fried rice!

Can You Make Fried Rice with Leftover Veg?

Yes, I use leftover vegetables in my leftover roast beef fried rice. This isn't essential, but you can use whatever you might have left.

What Veg Should You Add to Fried Rice?

I always try to add frozen peas and corn and some spring onions to my Chinese Beef Fried Rice. These have a great flavour and texture but also add colour.

Then, leftover veggies.

I'll typically have carrots left, but maybe also things like cabbage, sprouts and broccoli.

You canadd your leftover veggies with your corn and peas, unless they are super soft, or you want to keep them from becoming too soft, then I'd just stir them through at the end with the spring onions, just to warm them up.

How Do You Add Egg to Fried Rice?

I've got a recipe for Pork Fried Rice, in whichI whisk the eggs together in a jug and scramble them in a pan, before setting to one side and returning to the rice later.

You can absolutely do this if you prefer, butrecently I've started just cracking the eggs onto the rice, meat and veg, and stirring through. It means the recipe follows a slightly different order, but ends up tasting the same.

Kind of scrambling them in with the rice and veg.

I just crack the eggs on, and then constantly more the rice so that the eggs cook and move about into the meal.

Making Plain Egg Fried Rice

Plain Egg Fried Rice is a fantastic side order for plenty of Midweek Meals and Family Fakeaway Recipes.

For completely plain egg fried rice, cook 250g rice and leave it to cool.

Melt some butter in a pan, and I'd still add some garlic for flavour.

Add the rice and toss for 5 minutes until hot. Crack in 2 eggs (or just one if you are using less rice) and stir vigorously until cooked and mixed into the rice.

Stir through chopped spring onions.

If you want more, you can use the vegetables and/or sauce from this recipe, just skipping the meat.

Ingredients for Fried Rice Sauce

I use the same sauce for Leftover Beef Fried Rice as I do pork. Just with slightly different quantities because the leftover veggies mean that it's a bigger portion.

It's a basic stir fry sauce of soy, oyster and Chinese 5 spice. Then, I drizzle with sesame oil and stir, just before serving.

Top Tips for Making Leftover Roast Beef Fried Rice

Once you've got the hang of it, making fried rice is easy, and you can add anything. Here are my top tips:

• Cool the rice.
• Use butter, or buttery margarine not oil.
• Add the sesame oil at the end, it's a serving sauce, not a cooking oil.
• Once you've cracked in the eggs, move things constantly to stop them sticking to the bottom of the pan, and cook until the eggs aren't "snotty" and you can see small bits, like scrambled egg, sticking to your rice before adding the sauce.
• If you prefer you can whisk the eggs in a jug, and lightly scramble them first. Just lightly scramble until they are underdone, remove them from the pan and set them to one side for later. Return them once the rice is warm.
• Use a large frying pan, or even better a wok. (Affiliate links)
