Ingredients

16 items
  • 1 cuprice (Japanese / basmati / jasmine)
  • 3eggs
  • 1 lbminced beef (80/20)
  • 4 clovesgarlic
  • 2shallots (white onion)
  • spring onion (whites for beef, greens to finish)
  • soy sauce
  • oyster sauce
  • white pepper
  • cornstarch
  • olive oil
  • sesame oilto finish
  • broccoli florets
  • paprika
  • garlic powder
  • salt + pepper

Method

7 steps
  1. Start the rice — double rinse, then cook in pot or cooker.

  2. Preheat the oven. Cut broccoli into florets, toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt + pepper. Roast at 425°F / 220°C for ~20 min, flipping halfway, until edges are crisp and browned.

  3. While those cook, season the minced beef with garlic powder, oyster sauce, white pepper, and a cornstarch slurry. Mix it through and let it sit.

  4. Finely mince garlic and slice shallots (or white onion) and spring onion whites. Cook in a pan with olive oil until browned.

  5. Add the seasoned beef, break it up, and brown. As liquid renders, the cornstarch tightens it into a glossy coat.

  6. Fry the eggs, runny yolks.

  7. Plate: rice, beef on top, broccoli alongside, crown with the eggs, scatter spring onion greens, drizzle sesame oil, and finish with extra soy if wanted.
