By incorporating fresh lettuce and lean beef, it maximizes volume and nutritional value while keeping the calorie count mindful. It offers the perfect harmony of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors with absolutely no guilt.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 150 g lean beef (sliced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup lettuce (chopped)
- 1 portion cooked rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 pinch pepper powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- 1Scramble the eggs

Spray a light layer of olive oil into a heated pan. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them quickly until they are just set, then remove them from the heat and set aside.
Tip: Cook the eggs gently over medium heat so they remain soft and fluffy. - 2Stir-fry the marinated beef

Heat a pan with a light spray of olive oil and stir-fry the marinated beef slices until they are about 70% cooked. The meat should still be slightly tender and not fully browned. Once ready, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Tip: Avoid overcooking the beef at this stage to keep it tender, as it will continue to cook when combined with the other ingredients later. - 3Cook the cherry tomatoes

Spray a little more olive oil into the pan and toss in the halved cherry tomatoes. Add a small pinch of salt and stir-fry them to help release their rich, natural juices.
Tip: Adding salt early draws out the moisture from the tomatoes, creating a natural sauce. - 4Combine ingredients in the tomato base

In the same pan, cook the cherry tomatoes until they soften and release their natural juices. Add the previously scrambled eggs and the partially cooked beef into the simmering tomatoes, stirring gently to coat the ingredients in the flavorful sauce.
Tip: Adding a small pinch of salt to the cherry tomatoes early in the cooking process helps draw out their moisture and creates a richer sauce. - 5Add lettuce and rice

Return the cooked scrambled eggs and beef to the pan with the juicy tomatoes. Top the mixture with a generous handful of chopped lettuce and a portion of cooked rice.
Tip: Using leftover or slightly cooled rice works best, as it absorbs the tomato juices without becoming mushy. - 6Simmer and mix thoroughly

Cover the pan and let it simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Finally, use a spatula to mix everything thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated with the savory tomato sauce.
Tip: Using slightly dry or leftover cooked rice works best, as it absorbs the tomato juices well without becoming overly mushy.
