The day before, cook the rice in a rice cooker. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool to room temperature. Keep in the fridge overnight in an airtight container.
In a medium bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients for the beef. Add beef and roughly combine. Marinate for 10 – 15 minutes at room temperature.
In a large skillet or wok over high heat, add ½ tablespoon oil. Add the ground beef. Break them up into small pieces with a spatula. Cook until almost cooked through, about 90% done. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
In the same skillet, wipe clean with a paper towel or clean under water if necessary. Turn the heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the eggs and scramble quickly with a spatula. Add the rice when the eggs are still runny. Break apart the rice and cut the eggs into little pieces. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon sugar. Toss and cook for at least 3 minutes or until everything is combined. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Mix well. Add beef and combine again. Lastly, add the lettuce and green onion. Toss well and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer to serving plates. Serve immediately.

When combining the beef and marinade together, make sure not to over mix. The meat can turn sticky and stuck together, which will make it hard to separate during cooking.
