Try this Beef Fried Rice once and I guarantee your family will be asking for this again. Quick, easy, budget-friendly, tasty, healthy and all made in one pan. YES! You know I love a new mince beef recipe and finding ways of cooking up this versatile, tasty and inexpensive meat that’s a little different from our usual classics (Spag Bol and Chilli absolute classics obviously, but it’s nice to mix things up now and then – right?!). Ever since I created recipes like Sticky Beef Mince Stir Fry and Cajun Dirty Rice, I realised there’s a huge appetite (no pun intended) for one pan meals using that midweek staple – mince. Well, my friends. Here is another for you. Beef Fried Rice that is a total shortcut recipe (I’m trying not to use the word ‘cheat’, but it’s verging on that), is all made in one pan, made largely of store cupboard ingredients, has plenty of veggies and flavour, takes less than half an hour to cook and tastes totally delicious. Winner all round, I reckon.
Why you’ll love this Beef Fried Rice recipe
⭐️ Cheaper and lighter than a takeaway ⭐️ Complete meal in one pan ⭐️ Zero fuss, ready in 30 minutes Many Asian, South American and African countries have their own versions of fried rice recipes. The recipes often include vegetables and some kind of protein (meat or eggs). Chinese fried rice is said to have been first recorded during the Sui dynasty, which was 589 AD – that really is a long running favourite right? If you’d like to try a more authentic version, try The Woks of Life (whose family owns a Chinese restaurant so they really know their stuff).

Substitutions
Extra veggies – You can swap up your favourite vegetables for this recipe Sesame oil – For a more authentic taste, substitute olive oil for sesame, but don’t buy it especially as olive oil is fine!
In the freezer You can freeze this, however sometimes rice dishes are not at their best afterwards. As above follow food safety guidelines. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put it into a freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating in the microwave or or the hob. It may need a little extra water. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations. If you’d like to share yours with me, you can tag me on Instagram (@tamingtwins).
