Main
  • 2 cups cooked white rice preferably day-old
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients and chopping your vegetables.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
