Ingredients
In this Beijing-style adaptation of Chosilog, we incorporate Beijing flavors and cooking techniques to create a fusion dish. The original Chosilog typically uses soy sauce and calamansi juice for marinating the beef, but in this recipe, we use a combination of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder to infuse the beef with Beijing-style flavors. Additionally, we replace the traditional vinegar-based dipping sauce with a drizzle of oyster sauce for a richer taste. The garlic fried rice remains a staple in both versions, providing a comforting base for the dish. We alse have the original recipe for Chosilog, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For tender beef, slice it against the grain. This will help break down the muscle fibers and result in a more tender texture.
- Jasmine rice — Use day-old cooked rice for the best results. The slightly dried-out texture of the rice will prevent it from becoming mushy when stir-fried.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of sesame oil to the garlic fried rice.
- Customize the level of spiciness by adding chili flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
- If you prefer a runny yolk, cook the sunny-side-up eggs on low heat for a longer duration.
- Substitute beef with chicken or pork for a variation of flavors.
- Serve with a side of pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast.
Serving advice
Serve the Beijing-style Chosilog hot, straight from the skillet. The combination of flavors and textures is best enjoyed when the dish is freshly prepared.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, place the sunny-side-up egg on top of the beef and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped spring onions. The vibrant colors of the dish will make it visually appealing.
