Method
 

Cook the Rice
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15–18 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Avoid lifting the lid too often to keep the steam inside.
  3. Garnish the rice with fresh parsley before serving.
Prepare the Fries
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss the cut potatoes with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tsp salt.
  3. Spread the fries evenly on a baking tray and bake for about 30–35 minutes, turning halfway.
  4. Look for golden brown color in the fries to ensure they are perfectly crisp.
Cook the Beef Stir-Fry
  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté 1 tsp minced garlic until aromatic, then add the thin beef strips in a single layer.
  3. Cook the beef until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in onions and bell peppers, then add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper.
  5. Cook until the veggies are tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Prepare the Salad
  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups curly lettuce, 2 diced tomatoes, and 1 tbsp chopped parsley.
  2. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Toss the salad well to combine.
Assemble & Serve
