- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 to 3 cups orange shredded beef or any cooked shredded beef
- 4 carrots shredded
- 1 cup green peas frozen or fresh
- 2 eggs
- 3 green onions sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
- Cook a batch of orange shredded beef if needed and set aside. If you don’t have leftover rice, cook a batch and let it cool slightly.

- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shredded beef and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, letting it crisp slightly.
- Add the shredded carrots and peas and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ½ tablespoon oyster sauce.
- Push everything to one side of the pan. Crack in the eggs and scramble for 1 to 2 minutes until just cooked, then fold into the mixture.
- Add the cooked rice and toss everything together for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
- Stir in the remaining oyster sauce, additional soy sauce to taste, and toasted sesame oil. Add green onions, toss, and adjust seasoning as needed and enjoy!
