Scallion Beef Rice Bowl
Soft-Boiled Eggs

A comforting, richly aromatic beef rice bowl featuring crispy beef slices tossed in a savory scallion garlic sauce, served over warm rice with gooey soft-boiled eggs.

Ingredients

• 300 g thinly sliced beef
• 0.5 onion
• 1 bunch green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 lime
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 bowl cooked white rice

Instructions

1. 1Slice the Onion

   

   Take half an onion and carefully slice it into thin strips on a wooden cutting board.

   Tip: Cut along the grain for a slightly crunchier texture when stir-frying.
2. 2Chop Green Onions

   

   Finely chop a generous amount of fresh green onions on the wooden cutting board to build the aromatic base.

   Tip: Using plenty of green onions builds the core fragrance for the special sauce.
3. 3Assemble the Sauce Ingredients

   

   Transfer the chopped green onions into a small bowl, then add freshly minced garlic, sesame seeds, black pepper, sea salt, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and mirin.

   Tip: Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
4. 4Squeeze Lime Juice

   

   Squeeze fresh lime juice directly into the bowl with the scallion and spice mixture for an extra burst of flavor.

   Tip: Ensure no seeds fall into the bowl while squeezing the lime.
5. 5Fry the Beef Slices

   

   Heat the pan and spray a little oil, then add the beef slices and fry until crispy and fragrant. Drain excess oil and set the beef aside.

   Tip: Drain any excess oil from the pan once the beef is fried and set the beef aside.
6. 6Cook the Scallion Sauce with Onions

   

   Stir-fry the onion strips in the pan, add a knob of butter for a rich milky aroma, and pour in the prepared scallion sauce to cook over low heat until fragrant.

   Tip: Keep the heat low so the scallions and garlic release their flavors without burning.
7. 7Toss the Beef with Sauce

   

   Add the cooked beef slices back into the pan with the onions and sauce, tossing everything evenly over low heat until well coated.

   Tip: Simmering on low heat lets the beef absorb the savory sauce flavors without overcooking.
8. 8Add Eggs

   

   Push the beef to one side of the pan and crack two eggs directly into the pan to cook softly alongside the savory beef and onions.

   Tip: Keep the heat low so the eggs poach gently in the savory sauce.
9. 9Saute the Onions and Butter

   

   Stir-fry the onion strips in the pan and add a knob of butter to create a rich aroma that infuses the vegetables as they soften.

   Tip: Add the butter once the onions begin to soften so it melts evenly without burning.
