Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Chop the vegetables, peel and devein the shrimp, and slice the steak into thin strips.
Cook the Steak: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, add another splash of oil if needed and toss in the shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the steak.
Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the skillet and scramble them until just set, then push them to one side of the pan.
Add Veggies and Rice: Next, add the garlic, ginger, and mixed vegetables to the skillet and sauté for a couple of minutes. Then, add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir everything together.
Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp and steak to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing everything well to combine the flavors. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Day-old rice is best as it prevents mushiness and ensures a great texture.
Cooking on high heat helps achieve that lovely stir-fried flavor.
If making a large batch, cook in batches to avoid steaming instead of frying.
Use fresh, high-quality seafood and meat for the best flavor.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference.
