Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Pork (bite-sized pieces) 150g
  • Eggs 3
  • Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
  • Potato Starch 2 tsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tsp
  • [A] Salt a pinch
  • [A] Pepper a pinch
  • [B] Water 100ml
  • [B] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
  • [B] Oyster Sauce 2 tsp
  • [B] Sugar 1 tsp
  • [B] Sesame Oil 1 tsp
  • [B] Potato Starch 1 tsp
  • [B] Chinese Chicken Stock Powder 1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil for frying
  • Chopped green onions
  • Ichimi Togarashi (Japanese chili powder) optional

Steps

  1. In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs until broken, then add 1 tbsp mayonnaise and mix well. [Key Tip!] Adding mayonnaise will result in a fluffy and melty texture.
  2. In a separate bowl, add 150g pork (bite-sized pieces), 2 tsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 2 tsp Potato Starch. Mix well by hand. [Key Tip!] Marinating the pork with potato starch will make it tender and juicy.
  3. In another container, combine 100ml water, 2 tsp Soy Sauce, 2 tsp Oyster Sauce, 1 tsp Sugar, 1 tsp Sesame Oil, 1 tsp Potato Starch, and 1/2 tsp Chinese Chicken Stock Powder. Mix well to create the sauce mixture. [Key Tip!] Oyster sauce adds depth of flavor, and potato starch helps thicken the sauce easily.
  4. Heat vegetable oil for frying in a frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour the mixed egg mixture into the heated frying pan.
  6. Once the edges of the egg start to set, push them towards the center and cook until semi-scrambled. [Key Tip!] Removing the egg while it's still semi-scrambled will ensure a melty texture.
  7. Transfer the semi-scrambled egg to a bowl.
  8. In the same frying pan, add the marinated pork (bite-sized pieces) and spread it out.
  9. Stir-fry the pork until it's cooked through.
  10. Once the pork is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Re-stir the prepared sauce mixture and pour it into the frying pan.
  11. Cook until the sauce thickens.
  12. Once thickened, turn off the heat and return the semi-scrambled egg to the frying pan.
  13. Roughly break apart the egg and mix it with the pork and sauce.
  14. Plate the dish.
  15. Garnish with chopped green onions and, if desired, Ichimi Togarashi (Japanese chili powder). Serve.
