Japanese Beef Fried Rice (Chahan) image

My boyfriend loved ordering this Japanese beef fried rice in our favorite Japanese restaurant. For dinner one time, I decided to surprise him by making my own...he absolutely loved it. This is a quick and easy all-in-one meal...has rice, meat, and vegetables. If you want a little more meat, you can match it up with some chicken teriyaki or grilled barbecue ribs...yum!

Time 25m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup minced carrot
1 cup thinly sliced green beans
1 medium white onion, minced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces ground beef
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups cooked white rice
1 large egg
¾ cup soy sauce (such as Kikkoman®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Saute carrots, green beans, onion, and garlic in the hot butter until onions are transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef to the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until ground beef is browned and crumbly and carrots are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add rice and mix well.
  • Crack the egg into a bowl and beat using a fork. Mix into rice mixture until egg is no longer runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in soy sauce. Taste and add more soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix rice well. When you're satisfied with the seasoning, turn off the heat and serve.

I'm not a big fan of Japanese food, but this recipe was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The rice was mushy and the beef was tough. I won't be making it again.

This Japanese beef fried rice is a flavorful and easy weeknight meal. The rice is cooked perfectly and the beef is tender and juicy. I added some extra vegetables to mine, like carrots and peas, and it turned out great.
