  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked white rice (day-old and chilled)
2 cups leftover smoked brisket, cubed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat and add one tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 2: Add the cubed brisket to the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy and the fat has rendered.
Step 3: Push the brisket to the sides of the pan and add the remaining oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the chilled rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the rice is coated in the rendered fat.
Step 5: Pour the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice. Toss well to combine until the easy brisket fried rice is evenly colored.
Step 6: Stir in the frozen peas and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 7: Create a well in the center of the rice and pour in the beaten eggs. Let them set slightly, then scramble them and fold them into the easy brisket fried rice.
Step 8: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve your easy brisket fried rice immediately.

Notes

Always use cold, day-old rice for the best texture in your easy brisket fried rice.
