Important Recipe Notes
- Use day-old rice. Cold, cooked rice gives the best fried rice texture and helps prevent the rice from becoming soft or mushy.
- Don’t add uncooked rice. This recipe is made with fully cooked rice. Uncooked rice won’t cook properly in the slow cooker with the beef.
- Cook the eggs separately. Scrambling the eggs in a skillet before adding them creates the classic fried rice texture and keeps them from disappearing into the rice.
- Wait until the end to add the rice and vegetables. Stir them in during the last 20–30 minutes so they stay tender without overcooking.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce if needed. The oyster sauce and Worcestershire sauce already add plenty of savory flavor, so low-sodium soy sauce helps keep the dish from becoming too salty.
- Taste before serving. Add a little extra soy sauce, sesame oil, or black pepper if you’d like a stronger fried rice flavor.
- If your stew meat has large chunks, cut them into bite-sized pieces before cooking so they’re easier to eat and mix evenly with the rice.
- Garnish just before serving. Fresh sliced green onions add a pop of color and fresh flavor that makes the dish taste even better.
