‍

INGREDIENTS

1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, minced
1 cup green peas
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil
3 eggs

‍

Sauce Ingredients:

2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
3 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
1/8 tsp white pepper powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Start by mixing those aromatic sauce ingredients. The dance of soy, oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine promises a flavor profile that's nothing short of spectacular.

‍

Searing the ground beef in hot vegetable oil ensures a delightful caramelization. As the beef sizzles, its tantalizing aroma fills the kitchen.

‍

Now comes the soft crunch of onions and the unmistakable fragrance of garlic. Sautéing them till tender ensures they release their sweetness into the beef.

‍

As the sauce simmers with the beef, it reduces and intensifies, wrapping the meat in its rich embrace. The simmering process melds the flavors, making them indistinguishably delicious.

‍

With the addition of green peas, a burst of freshness takes the dish to a whole new level. And as the cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce, the anticipation builds.

‍

The finale, the eggs! Cracked atop the simmering beef, they steam to perfection. Their whites set, yolks runny, ready to be poked and mixed in for that extra layer of richness.

‍

And there you have it. Serve over steamed rice, and witness the magic in every bite!

‍

Enjoy! ♡
