Cook the Corned Beef – Add the canned corned beef and stir. Let it cook for a couple of minutes to soak up the garlic-onion flavor.
Simmer with Broth – Pour in the beef broth and simmer for 2–3 minutes. This gives your corned beef a juicy texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble Your Plate – Scoop some garlic fried rice, place the fried egg on top, and add a generous serving of your corned beef. That’s one hearty meal ready to enjoy!
