Sambal Minced Beef with Fried Egg

August 26, 2016

It’s that time again that my friends inside the kitchen cupboards are begging to get my attention. When I opened the cupboard, I was in shock when I see some of the ingredients on strike. I calmed them down and talked to them saying that I could not use all of them in one time. After a not so long time discussing with them, there was a small voice from a small bottle saying to get it first. That voice is from sambal oelek.

I wanted to make the sweet chili sauce again, but I also want to try something else. So I called a friend named Google and it helped me find a very easy recipe. And I believe my friend knows me so well that it led me to a recipe that is very lovely with egg. 😀

Sambal Minced Beef with Spinach - TNSCC 1

Sambal minced beef is very easy as you just have to prepare the sauce, stir fry the beef, fry up some crisp sunny side up egg, get your white rice and you’re ready to dig in! The beef is a little spicy, juicy and of course, delicious! It has also this ‘Thai kick’ because of the fish sauce, but be free to omit it of you dislike fish sauce. It will still be good. The source recipe calls for bok choy, but all I had was spinach so I used it instead.

This recipe is very good when you want a very easy meal. And that fried egg is everything to me! 😀

I’ve missed FF last week and I am very much happy to be partying with you again here at Fiesta Friday #134. No co-hosts for this week, so it will be lovely to come back at Angie’s place on Tuesday for voting time. 🙂
