Method:

•  Rub the beef slices with the vinegar throughly. Rinse well and keep drained.

• Meanwhile chop up the required vegetables.
• Fluff up the cold rice with a fork. Set aside.
• Add all the ingredients listed under Sauce to a bowl. Stir and set aside.
• 
• Finely chop the spring onion into rings. Divide into three portions : the white bulb portion , central portion and greenish ends separately.
• Steam  the diced carrots in the microwave or on stove top for just a minute. Add in the frozen peas and microwave for 30 seconds longer. This will thaw the peas. Drain any water and set aside.
• 
• Beat the eggs with salt and  black pepper powder.
• Heat wok with half the peanut oil till smoking.
• Add the beaten eggs and wait 10 seconds before you scramble the eggs thoroughly.
• On continuous high heat, add the cooked rice. Add salt and toss well till coated evenly.
• Toss in the sliced bulb portion of the spring onions.  Toss till the rice is completely heated through. Add the carrot and peas  as well as cabbage. Toss once more. Remove the rice to a large plate.
• 
• Add the mid section of the chopped spring onion to the marinated beef now and toss thoroughly with hands.
• 
• Return the wok to  heat and add remaining oil.
• When smoking, add the marinated beef.
• 
• Toss well and fry. Juices will be released. Stir fry till these juices are absorbed and the beef is cooked tender.
• 
• At this point, add the mixed sauces and bring to a simmer.
• 
• Cook till the sauces are reduced and just coat the beef slices.
• 
• Toss in the mustard green and cook till just wilted.
• 
• Return the fried rice and toss well to evenly coat and color the rice with the beef and sauces.
• Add the sweet soy sauce now and season to taste with pepper and salt if needed. Garnish with the Green Leaf tip portion of the sliced spring onion.
