Scale

- 200g sliced beef or chicken
- 2 tablespoons Japanese BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 eggs, beaten

- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas)
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
