Note

For best results, use day-old rice that has been chilled, as it is drier and less likely to become mushy when stir-fried.

You can substitute the sirloin with flank steak or tenderloin for a different texture. Ensure the meat is sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, or snap peas for extra nutrition and color.

If you prefer a spicier dish, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce mixture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to restore moisture.

The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
