Instructions
Prepare the rice according to instructions. Make sure to use running water to remove the extra starch from the rice either before or after cooking the rice.
Strain the rice and then set aside until later (see below instructions)
Slice the beef into thin strips, place in a bowl, marinade with half of the soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil. Use your hands to make sure every slice of beef is coated with the soy sauce.
While the beef marinades, prepare the garlic, ginger, fresh coriander, bean sprouts and carrots.
Put a wok (or a frying pan if you don't have a wok) on the stove over a high heat. Add a 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and then add the beef strips. Make sure you hear the sizzle. Stir or toss the beef for about 1 minute.
Add the garlic, ginger, chopped coriander sprigs, chile, bean spouts and carrots. Stir about another minute.
Season with the other half of the soy sauce. Quickly stir the corn flour and water together then add this mixture to the stir fry. Transfer the stir fry to a bowl and set aside.
Put your wok back on the heat, add a dash of vegetable oil and start frying your green onions for about a minute. Add your rice to fry for another minute.
Serve the rice and the beef stir fry together and enjoy.
Notes
Remember, get all you ingredients prepared before frying and make sure your wok is very hot before frying.
