Asian-style Cornsilog

Ingredients

In this Asian-style adaptation of Cornsilog, we incorporate Asian flavors and ingredients to give the dish a distinct taste. The original Filipino Cornsilog typically includes marinated beef, garlic fried rice, and a sunny-side-up egg. However, in this Asian version, we enhance the flavors by adding corn kernels to the dish and marinating the beef with Asian spices such as ginger and sesame oil. The dish is also served with pickled vegetables on the side, which adds a tangy and refreshing element to the overall flavor profile. We alse have the original recipe for Cornsilog, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef — For tender beef slices, make sure to slice the meat against the grain. This will result in more tender and juicy pieces.
• Corn kernels — If fresh corn is not available, you can use canned or frozen corn kernels. Just make sure to thaw or drain them before adding to the dish.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a splash of lime juice to the pickled vegetables.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha sauce to the marinade.
• To save time, you can marinate the beef overnight in the refrigerator for even more flavor.

Serving advice

Serve the Asian-style Cornsilog hot, with the sunny-side-up egg yolk still runny. Mix the egg yolk with the rice and beef for a creamy and rich flavor experience.

Presentation advice

To make the dish visually appealing, arrange the beef slices neatly on top of the rice and corn mixture. Place the sunny-side-up egg on one side and garnish with fresh scallions for a pop of color.
