Luncheon Burger With Crispy Egg

Yes you heard it, it's my favorite processed oink oink being deep fried till it's crispy on the outside and soft in the inside!!! Which middle class Cina wouldn't love luncheon meat... You tell me!!!

In this recipe you'll need:
-Burger buns ***I used soft sweet buns, they taste better
-Romaine lettuce leaves
-1cm thickness sliced round luncheon meat
-1egg lightly beaten with 1/2 tsp potato starch
-1cup cooking oil
-Mayonnaise
-Gherkins/white onion rings/sliced tomato (Optional)
-Vegetable spread or butter... I used Mother's Choice lah, my favorite spread...

1)... So, I heated up the frying pan on medium heat and buttered the inner part of the buns... I toast the buns one at the time till the white layer comes to a crisp and golden brown color... Do adjust the heat at this point because if it's too hot it'll burn you bun...

2)... When done pan toasting place all buns toasted side up and spread mayonnaise as desired... I love it jam packed for that tangy taste!!! Oooohhh, while the pan is still on the heat, use a paper towel to clean the pan and then you add in the 1cup cooking oil getting the pan & oil ready and hot enough for frying the luncheon meat slices... Put the pan on medium heat at this moment lah...

3)... So, is your pan ready??? On medium heat it should be ready in 3-4 minutes so go ahead and deep fry your luncheon meat one at the time... Still on medium heat, allow it to fry for 2minutes each sides or till it's the fragrant smell of luncheon readiness comes to you... You'll know when you get there and the color should be golden brown... When done let them rest on a paper towel to remove those sinful oils...

4)... Next the crispy eggs!!! Still on medium heat and you have the lightly beaten egg portion in your bowl, slowly pour half into the hot oil from center and let it bubble up and it's done when it's golden brown and crispy!!! Lay on another paper towel to remove all access oils...

5)... Assembly time!!! Romaine leaves goes onto your mayo bun, then the crispy egg, then the luncheon meat (the star of the dish)  cover up with the top bun... You could use the optional ingredients like gherkins/white onion rings or tomato slices (without seeds because it's soggy) to cut through the richness of the sinful fried stuff...

Oh yeah!!! Who says you need to use burger buns... See!!! I did the same with wholemeal sandwich loaf and I packed this one up with tomatoes & gherkins...

Yummy yum yum...

Bite into it and enjoy!!!
