Steamed Rice With Beef And Egg

Hey guys, we’re happy to share an old fashioned dish with you today, it’s called Steamed Rice With Beef And Egg.

This is a Hong Kong dish that you can still order from restaurants but the key component will be missing, the raw egg.

Without the egg, it’s only a normal and common steamed rice but with the addition of an egg, the flavor and the texture excel.

In fact, restaurants don’t offer eggs anymore because of food safety. As raw eggs might have some contamination like salmonella and other bacterial infections if the source is not strict enough.

Luckily, there are Japanese eggs that labelled ready to eat raw. In this recipe, we’re using the Japanese eggs to make the Steamed Rice With Beef And Egg.

So, why’re  the eggs are so important in this Steamed Rice With Beef And Egg recipe?

First of all, the flavor of the eggs, eggs has a mildly sweet and pungent smell in sulphur, that balanced with all of the components.

Moreover, the texture of the egg when it’s cooked. When you cracked an egg, it’s gooey and sticky. If you start cooking the egg, it becomes solid and brittle.

If we’re stirring the eggs on the pan  while on low temperature, the eggs will become a paste like texture.

The concept of Steamed Rice With Beef And Egg is to let the eggs cook under low temperature so the eggs become creamy and covered all over the rice.

It’s like making Carbonara. Do you know that Cabonara use eggs only to reach a creamy and soft texture? Chef mixes raw eggs into the cooked spaghetti to cook them instead of cooking the egg directly.

So if you’re still with us, let’s get started!
