Meat Jun

I love meat jun! If someone asked me what's my favorite food, one of the first things that would come to mind would be meat jun (specifically from the Kim Chee # restaurants, or Young's Kalbee in Hawaii...no where else compares!). For those who don't know, meat jun is a thinly sliced marinated beef, fried in a fluffy egg batter! If you buy meat jun, and the egg is not fluffy, it will probably suck! Out of all the meat jun recipes that I came across, this one sounded the best. After testing it out, I loved it so much, it is now my "go to" meat jun recipe when I have that craving.

Meat Jun Recipe

 

Ingredients

 

1 lb rib eye; cross rib, etc; thinly sliced

(I just used chuck steak because I always have it in my freezer)

 

marinade:

1 cup shoyu

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 clove garlic; minced

 

batter:

1 1/2 cups flour; seasoned with garlic salt & pepper

3 eggs; beaten

 

Directions:

1. Thinly slice meat, and soak in marinade for at least 1 hour (overnight is best)
2. Coat meat in flour, then dip in beaten eggs
3. Fry both sides in oil about 1/2 to 1 inch deep on medium high, until golden brown
4. Line a plate with paper towel to soak any extra oil after frying it
5. Let cool & Enjoy



 

 

Dipping Sauce:

 

When you order meat jun, it usually comes with two dipping sauces. One spicy, and one shoyu based.

 

To make the spicy sauce, I simply just mixed Sriracha with a little sugar for a nice spicy kick. 

 

For the shoyu based sauce, I mixed & brought to a boil:

 

2 Tbsp. shoyu

1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. sesame seeds; toasted

 

Hope you like it!
