Beef Fried Rice with Thai Aromatics
  1. 1

    Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, then cook the shallot and minced chiles until translucent and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the ground beef and cook, stirring often, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to move the beef mixture to a plate.

  2. 2

    Lower the heat to medium and stir in the rice, breaking up any clumps. Let the rice cook, folding it constantly so it absorbs the juices from the wok, about 10 minutes. Make a well in the center of the rice and add the beaten eggs. Swirl the eggs and rice together in small circular motions until all the rice is coated with the eggs.

  3. 3

    Return the beef mixture to the wok and toss to combine. Drizzle in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce while tossing to mix. Cook a few more minutes until well combined. Remove from the heat. Fold in the cilantro and basil.

  4. 4

    Divide between 2 bowls and squeeze 1 lime wedge over each serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
