Steamed Beef Mince on Rice (蒸冬菜牛肉餅飯)
Sometimes you may need a recipe to let yourself be lazy for some reason, not wanting to stand in the kitchen too long or dine out. No matter what the weather is like, this delicious steamed beef on rice is perfect to ease your starving. My mother used to make this rice dish in an electric rice cooker. Yet a wok or hot pot will do too. The end result is equally good. All you need is to prepare some cooked rice that’s a bit drier than usual because the rice will take up every bit of the tasty beef juice while steaming. You can imagine how yummy the rice will be. Apart from making fried rice, you can turn leftover rice into another superstar on your dining table with this recipe.
- By Christine's Recipes Prep time: 10 mins
- Cook time: 15 mins
- Yield: 2 serves
- Ingredients:
- 200 gm beef mince
- 2 tsp preserved cabbage (冬菜)
- 4 water chestnuts, fresh or frozen, diced
- 2 bowls cooked rice
- 2 eggs
- light soy sauce, to taste
- Marinade:
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp corn flour / corn starch
- ½ tsp sugar
- 60 ml water
- pepper, to taste
- sesame oil, to taste
Method:
Soak the preserved cabbage in salted water for about 10 minutes. Rinse and squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
Stir and combine the beef, water chestnuts, preserved cabbage and marinade together towards one direction.
Place the cooked rice in two dishes. Divide the marinated beef on top and level with a spoon. Steam in a wok over high heat for about 12 minutes, or until the beef is cooked.
In the meantime, pan fry two eggs to your liking. Transfer them onto the beef. Drizzle light soy sauce as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes：
Preserved cabbage will enhance the flavour and take the whole dish up a notch, available at Asian grocers.
If you’d like to make this dish with an electric rice cooker or a claypot on stove, you may quickly place the marinated beef on top of the rice when the water starts to dry up. Cover and let the rice cooker do the rest for you.
You can use freshly cooked rice with less water, or leftover rice.
