Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan (or carbon steel paover medium heat until hot.
- Add the ground beef and spread it with your spatula.
- Let it cook without touching until the bottom is browned.
- Break up the beef into smaller bits.
- Add the onions and ginger.
- Cook and stir occasionally, until onion turns tender and the edges are lightly browned, 5 minutes or so.
- Pour in the sauce.
- Stir to mix well.
- Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Your pan should still have some sauce left, just enough to cover the beef.
- If not, you can gradually stir in more broth.
- Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water in a small bowl.
- Once the beef is cooked, add the frozen peas.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry again to dissolve the powder completely, and pour half of the slurry into the pot.
- Stir to mix well.
- The broth should thicken and will able to coat the back of a spoon.
- If the broth is still very thin, keep adding more cornstarch slurry to the broth and stir constantly, until it thickens.
- Crack 5 eggs onto the beef.
- Cover immediately and let it steam until the egg whites are cooked and the yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Or you can cook the eggs to the degree you prefer.
- Make sure the sauce doesn’t come to a full boil, which will reduce the cornstarch's ability to thicken the sauce.
- Move the pan off the heat for a few seconds if the pan gets too hot.
- Once done, uncover the pan and remove it from the stove.
- Use a spatula or ladle to transfer the beef with an egg and some sauce onto a bowl of rice.
- Serve hot as a main dish.
