JAPANESE SCOTCH EGG
The scotch egg gets a
makeover! Creamy soy sauce marinated egg, wrapped in a delicious pork dumpling
filling, and coated with super crispy panko, fried to golden-brown, and dipped
in a curry-mayo sauce. Mind blown!
If you’re unfamiliar with a
scotch egg, it’s a popular dish served in the United Kingdom. Traditionally
it’s a hard-boiled egg, wrapped in seasoned sausage, rolled in breadcrumbs, and
then fried. To give it a Japanese spin, I started with a soy sauce marinated
egg (shoyu egg), often a topping for ramen. I then adapted a pork dumpling
filling that I like to use when I make gyoza (pan-fried Japanese
dumplings). It’s then rolled in panko and fried to golden-brown and crispy
perfection. To top it off, it’s served with a delicious curry-mayo. Is
your mouth watering yet?!
INGREDIENTS
·
Soy Sauce Eggs
·
3 tablespoons warm water
·
2 teaspoons sugar
·
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
·
⅓ cup
low sodium soy sauce
·
2 large eggs
·
Scotch Egg
·
¼ cup flour
·
1 egg, beaten
·
½ cup panko
·
½ pound ground pork
·
2 cloves garlic, minced
·
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
·
1 scallion, thinly sliced
·
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
·
freshly ground black pepper
·
vegetable oil for frying
·
Curry-Mayo Dipping Sauce
·
¼ cup mayonnaise
·
1 teaspoon ground curry
INSTRUCTIONS
1. To make
the soy sauce marinade, grab a medium bowl (actually a 2 cup measuring cup
works nicely, due to its narrow base and high walls). Combine the water and
sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and then add the sherry vinegar and soy
sauce. Set aside.
2. Prepare
a bowl full of ice water and bring a large saucepan filled halfway with water
to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water one at a time, using a
spoon. Cook for exactly 6 minutes and 50 seconds. Remove the eggs as soon as
they are done and transfer them to the ice water. Once cool, gently peel the
eggs (the yolks will be soft, so the eggs will be a bit delicate). Transfer the
eggs to the soy sauce mixture and marinate in the fridge for 2 to 6 hours. Make
sure they are completely submerged, use a small plate placed on top, if needed.
3. When
you're ready to make the Japanese scotch eggs, prepare your breading station.
Place the flour, egg, and panko in 3 seperate bowls.
4. In a
medium bowl, combine the pork, garlic, ginger, scallion, salt, and a few cracks
of pepper. Divide the pork mixture in half. Working with one piece at a time,
roll the mixture between your hands to form a ball and then flatten with the
palm of your hand - large enough to wrap around an egg. Place a soy sauce
marinated egg in the center and wrap the pork around the egg, sealing to
completely close and pinch off any excess pork. Repeat with the remaining soy
sauce egg.
5. Working
with one wrapped egg at a time, gently roll it in the flour, shaking off the
excess. Then coat in the beaten egg and roll in the panko to completely coat.
6. Heat a
large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Pour in 2-inches of oil and
heat to 375 degrees F. Carefully add the panko crusted eggs to the hot oil. The
heat will drop when you add the eggs, but that's ok! You actually want to cook
them at 350 degrees F (make sure you maintain this temp throughout the cooking
process). Cook, turning occasionally for 5-6 minutes, or until golden-brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs and allow to drain on a paper towels.
7. In a
small bowl, combine the mayo and curry powder.
8. Serve
the Japanese Scotch Eggs and with the curry-mayo immediately. Enjoy!
