This simple Cantonese twist on ham, egg and chips is made by sprinkling chips of your choice with some umami-rich Lee Kum Kee Premium Mushroom Seasoning Powder, and marinating the gammon steaks overnight in a lager and LKK Char Siu Sauce-based marinade for extra flavour.
Whisk together the char siu marinade, lager, vinegar, soy and mustard in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the sliced onion, garlic and black pepper
Submerge the gammon steaks in the marinade for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight
Remove the steaks from the marinade and leave them at room temperature for at least an hour
Cook the steaks in a hot pan until golden brown and caramelised, and they have an internal temperature of 60°C for medium
Leave somewhere warm to rest
Prepare the chips, and then dust with the mushroom seasoning to taste
Crack and fry the eggs in a hot pan with a little butter until they have a crispy bottom
Slice the gammon steak into thick slices. Serve with the fried egg on top and the seasoned chips to one side
Finish the dish by drizzling a little chilli oil over the egg and garnish with the spring onion and coriander
