Minced Beef Stir-Fry with Rice and Optional Poached Eggs

Ingredients

• beef drippings (Used to start cooking and add more if needed for the lean beef; amount not stated.)
• spring onions (Amount not stated.)
• lean minced beef (The video specifies 5% fat; amount not stated.)
• vegetables (Use any vegetables or leftover vegetables; kinds and amount not specified.)
• broccoli (Amount not stated.)
• 1 chili (Optional; the spoken quantity is unclear, rendered as “one chili.”)
• 5 tbsp light soy sauce
• 0.5 tbsp dark soy sauce
• white pepper (Amount not stated.)
• medium eggs (For optional poached eggs; number not stated.)
• water (Boiling water for soaking the eggs; amount not stated.)
• 10 g potato starch (The source also calls this about one tablespoon.)
• 200 ml water (Mixed with the potato starch to make the sauce.)
• cooked rice (Serve the stir-fry over a bowl of rice; amount not stated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat beef drippings in a pan over low heat.

2. 2

   Add the spring onions and begin cooking them in the drippings.

3. 3

   Add the minced beef. Since it is very lean (5% fat), add more drippings as needed. Keep the heat low and leave the beef to cook while you prepare the vegetables; the source does not specify a cooking duration here.

4. 4

   Add the vegetables of your choice, including broccoli, and the optional chili. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, as stated in the source.

5. 5

   Season with the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and white pepper.

6. 6

   For the optional eggs, place medium eggs in boiling water and let them soak for 5 minutes to poach.

7. 7

   Stir together the potato starch and 200 ml water, then add this starchy water to the stir-fry.

8. 8

   Leave the stir-fry on the heat until the starch cooks and binds the sauce to the mince; the source gives no duration or heat setting for this stage.

9. 9

   Spoon the stir-fry over a bowl of rice and top with the poached egg or eggs, if using.

Notes

Ingredient quantities for the beef, drippings, spring onions, vegetables, broccoli, pepper, eggs, and rice are not stated. The source does not specify the rice-cooking method or a precise duration for cooking the beef and thickening the sauce.
