INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs ground beef

2 green onions, sliced

1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine

1 cup frozen green peas/carrots, rinsed and drained

1 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tsp sesame oil (optional)

6 eggs, fried sunny side up

Marinade:

1 tsp avocado oil

2 tbsp cornstarch

METHOD:

1. In a medium glass bowl, add ground beef and all the marinade ingredients. Use a fork and mix well. Set aside.

2. In a non-stick wok, over medium high heat add ground beef. Using a wooden spatula, spread and break apart the beef. Don't disturb for 3-5 mins until the edges start browning.

3. Add only the white parts of the sliced green onion and flip the beef. Continue breaking up the beef for another 3-5 mins until browned.

4. Drizzle cooking wine around the edge of the wok and stir fry for 30-40 seconds. Add peas/carrots and chicken broth, continue to stir fry for another minute. Add oyster sauce, mix well. Turn off heat and drizzle in sesame oil for finishing (optional).

5. Serve over a bowl of steamed rice and garnish with remaining green onions and a fried egg. You can drizzle sweet soy sauce as a condiment.
