Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t already, cook your rice ahead of time and let it cool. Day-old rice is the best here; it’s less sticky and creates the perfect texture.
Sauté the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in your sliced beef, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and cook until browned (about 3-5 minutes). Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
Onion and Garlic Party: Using the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, throw in your chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Veggie Time: Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until tender but vibrant.
Bring It All Together: Return the beef to the skillet, add the cooked rice, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to combine all the flavors, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and serve hot.

Ensure your rice is cold and a little dry for the best texture. Feel free to customize with your choice of protein or leftover vegetables.
