My first stir fry on the egg (lots of pics)

The horrible weather we've been having finally cleared up this afternoon, so I was finally able to tackle my first stir fry in my new wok on the BGE. Today's dishes were fried rice with ham, eggs, and scallions, and beef with onions and peppers. Both of these recipes turned out to be excellent, and if I must say so myself, I really nailed them on the first try!
The rice was really different from what you're used to in restaurants, as there's no soy sauce or anything in it to turn it that brownish color and give that flavor. You do get the flavors of onions, garlic, & white pepper, along with some sweetness from the peas. It turned out very good. Special thanks to my son for standing by with the camera so I could have both hands free to cook.
Here's the rice after adding the ham, just about done.

And here it is done, just before going into a warm oven to stay hot while I cooked the beef dish.

If you haven't tried stir frying, it really does go by quickly, so it's important to have everything prepped and ready to go beforehand. I didn't get any pictures of this, but for each dish I had all my ingredients prepped and lined up in the order that they go in the wok on my table so there was no waiting.
Here's the beef in the wok. That's flank steak marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, shaoxing rice wine, black pepper, cornstarch, & oil.

Remove the beef and in go the onions for a few minutes, then add the red & green bell peppers.

Return the beef and add the sauce, which is just a mixture of soy sauce, the rice wine, and cornstarch. This was just before the sauce went in. Nice and colorful!

Here it is all plated up.

This was very flavorful and I am definitely hooked on wokking on the egg!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! Like I said, I was really thrilled with the results. Couldn't believe how quickly the wok got hot enough to stir fry. It was literally just seconds before it was ready to go. Nice to hear that constant sizzle from the wok as it's cooking.
I'm already planning my next stir fry, and I can see this being something I do a few times a week as time allows.
