I really can\u2019t even call it cooking because my method back then \u2014 which was shown to me by my uncle Steve \u2014 involved microwaving the egg in a small bowl. Over the years, thankfully, I quickly learned the value of properly cooking your eggs over a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/williams-sonoma-splatter-screen-review-23516862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stovetop<\/a>. I grew to appreciate all of the different ways you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/how-to-save-overcooked-scrambled-eggs-23542922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cook an egg<\/a>, and now have a few different versions of my go-to egg sandwich that hit the spot for me each and every time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>Recently, I came across <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Chf0fEWvsG1\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\">Lucas Sin<\/a> and his recipe for a classic <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/87912-best-hong-kong-egg-sandwich-recipe\" target=\"_blank\">Hong Kong-style scrambled egg sandwich<\/a> that instantly caught my attention based on looks alone. Sin used a scrambled egg technique native to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/hong-kong-style-french-toast-recipe-review-23390744\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hong Kong<\/a> to create a beautifully fluffy stack of custardy eggs that, when scrambled together with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/what-is-corned-beef-23312704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corned beef<\/a> and placed between two pieces of milk bread, looked absolutely irresistible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>As a note to his recipe, which was posted on <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Food52<\/a>, Sin describes having vivid memories of his father waking up early to order scrambled eggs on un-toasted white bread from the deli when he was young. I could relate to the bond food can create between two people, and it inspired me to try Sin\u2019s recipe out for myself. All I could hope for was to do this Hong Kong classic justice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get the recipe:<\/strong> <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/87912-best-hong-kong-egg-sandwich-recipe\" target=\"_blank\">Hong Kong-Style Scrambled Eggs<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><h2>How to Make a Hong Kong-Style Scrambled Egg Sandwich<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>Being that there are a few different variations of a Hong Kong-style scrambled egg sandwich, I decided to go with the variation that Sin claims is the most classic of the lot: corned beef.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>Start by lightly buttering a skillet and toasting two slices of milk bread on one side. Remove when ready and set aside. In a small bowl, make a slurry by combining potato starch and water, mixing both until the starch is fully dissolved. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, oil, evaporated milk, salt, white pepper, and potato starch slurry. Mix until everything is fully combined and there are no lumps or streaks of egg whites.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>Sear the corned beef on a skillet over medium-high heat and crumble the meat with a spatula until crisp, caramelized, and well-separated. Whisk the corned beef into the scrambled eggs bowl and take care of any lumps by breaking them up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>Place a nonstick skillet over high heat and add oil. Heat the skillet until the oil starts to smoke, then turn off the heat. Quickly pour the egg mixture onto the pan and start pushing it around using a rubber spatula. You can tilt the skillet around to help create thin layers of cooked eggs while you do this process. Continue to push the mixture around until the egg is barely set, about 10 seconds total. Gather the eggs together and form as closely to the shape of the sandwich as possible, then place the egg in the center of the toasted side of one slice of bread. Place the other slice of bread, toast-side down, on top of the filling and compress gently. Slice in half with a bread knife and enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><h2>My Honest Opinion of a Hong Kong-Style Scrambled Egg Sandwich<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>Where this sandwich hits its mark is within the attention to details. Only toasting the inside of the bread so the outside is still soft and fluffy, flash cooking the eggs over a hot skillet to retain their silkiness, and the use of shelf-stable meats are all things that tie this whole experience together. Each ingredient is purposeful and I was pleased to learn the process while knowing full well that I would be satisfied with the results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Html\">\n<p>It can be easy to get caught up in the business of the day and rush your way through making an egg sandwich, but this recipe taught me the importance of slowing things down and focusing on the details. In the future, I will definitely be trying the other classic versions of this incredible egg sandwich, and I cannot recommend this recipe enough to those who are already fans of eggs and sandwiches alike. Do yourself a flavor and give Sin\u2019s recipe a shot!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><h2>3 Tips for Making a Hong Kong-Style Scrambled Egg Sandwich<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/hong-kong-style-scrambled-eggs-recipe-review-23551959?utm_source=RSS&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Category%2FChannel%3A+main\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We independently select these products\u2014if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission.
