Wagyu Selection with Egg-Fried Rice: Get your ECG going, this is killer
Working from home seriously does have its advantages. Well, at least for the family. Another ChillaxBBQ lunch was cooked today for Wifey, Jude Jude, #1, and Strawberry Blonde. And, it was good even if I say so myself. It was all from the freezer and fridge.
I have found this rather cool new online supplier that has some really quirky stuff with a very strong Japanese focus. Have a look, so far I have been more than happy with the quality of the produce. Shinsen Online Fresh Grocery.
Wagyu Selection and Egg-Fried Rice
3 different cuts of Wagyu for today’s lunch extravaganza with the egg-fried rice. Simply thawed and left to get to room temperature. Seasoned well with sea salt & cracked black pepper and thrown in an oven at 200 degrees. Let that go until it is nicely cooked – these were super-thin cuts so took literally minutes.
Take the meat out when cooked but do not throw the meat fats away that will be in the roasting tray – more later on that.
Give a little more sea salt & cracked black pepper if you like – not much though as again these are super-thin slices. These different little cuts were amaze-balls – thin, but boy do they all pack a flavour punch. So beefy and so tender – hell yeah!!!
For the accompanying egg-fried rice (Uncle Roger would be proud…):
- 3 cups of rice in the rice cooker – OK here Uncle Roger would not be proud as I used warm rice due to the hungry faces of the kids;
- In a wok add a good 2″ knob of butter and pour the beef fat from the roasting tray in (no MSG needed for Umami);
- Get that nice and hot and the butter melted and crack in three eggs and 2x Tsp of minced garlic – fry off until coming together;
- In with the rice, 2Tbsp sauce, and cracked black pepper – fry off until all nicely mixed and mingled;
- In with 3 finely sliced Spring onions and mix thoroughly;
- Push it into a bowl, just like making sandcastles, and turn it over on a serving platter like in the picture – drizzle with a little more Soy sauce;
- Serve up with the meat pieces.
