Special Fried Rice and Shredded Beef


It was my 3rd year wedding anniversary a couple o' days ago...and since it was a weekday, I suggested we just stay home and have dinner. Well now that my cooking skills are way better than my hubby ever imagined...he dint object to staying home. I must say...hubby was really proud of me. 
Ingredients:

For the Special Fried Rice:
  • Rice
  • Veggie (spring onions, carrots, red peppers)
  • 2 Eggs
  • Shrimps
  • Smoked sausage
  • Soy Sauce
For the Shredded Beef:
  • Beef 
  • Green bell peppers
  • Red bell peppers
  • Ginger (sliced)
  • Garlic (grated)
  • Corn flour
  • Vegetable oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Seasoning
Method:

Special Fried Rice:
  • Boil rice till soft and set aside to cool...don't forget to add salt to the rice. I spread mine out on a tray to properly cool. You can also boil the rice a day before.
  • Fry the smoked sausage and set aside. I dint need to add cooking oil before frying cos the sausages had fat in them.
  • Fry the eggs and set aside. I used the oil from the sausage to fry the eggs.

  • Fry the shrimps for about 3 mins and set aside. I added a little seasoning to the shrimps before frying.
  • Add some cooking oil to the pan and stir fry the spring onions and peppers for about 2 mins. Then add the carrots and cold rice to the pan and stir fry the rice for about 5mins.
  • Add all the sausages, shrimps and eggs to the rice. Then add some soy sauce...about a table spoon or 2 depending on how much colour you want in the rice. If you prefer it without the soy sauce...then be my guest. As long as your okay with it. 

  • Stir fry for about 3 mins more and your special fried rice is ready.
Shredded beef sauce:
  • Shred the beef into thin slices.
  • Marinate the shredded beef in 1 table spoon of corn flour, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, 1 table spoon of soy sauce and some seasoning for about 30mins.
  • Heat up 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan and add the the beef into the hot oil and stir fry for about 8mins...then add d sliced green and red bell peppers, ginger and garlic into to the pan and stir fry for about 3 mins.

  • Add half a cup of water into the pan and stir fry for about 3 mins and its ready.

Enjoy!
