Elevated 吉野家 Silky egg Gyudon beef bowl

This recipe is inspired by a Gyudon chain in Hong Kong- I’ve elevated it by adding a more savoury sweet sauce and finishing it with silky eggs.

10 steps

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the onion and chop the spring onions, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Crack two eggs into a bowl and beat well.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable or sunflower oil in a small pan over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Add the onion and fry for a few minutes until softened.

  6. 6

    Add the beef and cook until it changes colour, then pour in half of the sauce and let it reduce until glossy and slightly thickened.

  7. 7

    Pour the eggs into the pan and let the bottom set.

  8. 8

    Gently push the eggs inwards from the edges, as shown in the video, then drizzle the remaining sauce over the top.

  9. 9

    Cook until your preferred doneness — I like it silky and slightly undercooked, so I turn off the heat when the egg is about 80% cooked and let the residual heat finish it off.

  10. 10

    Finish with sesame seeds and spring onions, and serve with rice
