Hong Kong Minced Beef on Rice 免治牛肉飯
Use any ground or cubed meat. Any vegetable can be used instead of peas.In the original Hong Kong version, you would make a bit of a well after you put the beef over the rice. You would put a raw egg in the well. The heat from the rice and beef would cook the egg a bit but not fully. I did not do it this way to prevent potential risk of salmonella contraction. Poached egg would be similar to the original version as well.
