Eating a Warm Egg on the Plate with Steak is Uncultured! Learn the Correct Way to Eat It Without Embarrassment
Western cuisine is a Western dining culture, and its dishes have obvious differences from Chinese cuisine. The dining etiquette and methods are also different. Steak is the most representative food in Western restaurants, and almost every guest will order one as a main course. Many people find that when eating steak, there is also a lightly fried egg next to it, which is usually only slightly fried on one side, and the other side is basically a liquid egg.
Some people think that the egg is fried too raw and left on the plate, so it's left uneaten. Some people will flip the egg over to use the high temperature of the iron plate to cook the egg through before eating. In fact, this is not the correct way to eat this runny egg. In a Western restaurant, eating this runny egg is really 'uncultured'. If the restaurant just wants you to eat a fried egg, it can simply fry it and put it on the plate, instead of frying it half-raw, which is difficult to pick up, and the egg liquid flows everywhere, causing customers to complain.
In fact, the runny egg on the plate has two correct eating methods. Remember them next time you go to eat and won't have a laughing stock.
First: cut the steak into pieces and dip it directly into the egg liquid.This can make the steak taste smoother and fresher. In fact, when eating beef hot pot, there will often be such a way of eating, the only difference is that the egg must be put in a small bowl separately. Or, cover the whole piece of steak with the runny egg, so that the sauce on the steak and the egg liquid can be fused together, and the runny egg will be slightly more cooked, and then eaten together. The steak is smooth and fresh, and the egg is delicious and nutritious.
Second: you can use the egg as a sauce and mix it with pasta and side dishes.Mix the pasta and side dishes with the egg, just like mixing rice. Many people like to eat this way. This can prevent the loss of nutrients of the egg. Mixing the egg liquid with the pasta and sauce makes the pasta from dry to smooth and flavorful, which is especially delicious. Remember to mix the pasta and egg liquid when it's hot, so that the egg liquid can be better fused with the pasta.
Before, there was a very popular TV series 'Together is Good' where Su Daqiang and his daughter went to eat Western food and, for the first time, they looked quite sophisticated and said, 'Eating Western food is about style, it's about etiquette, it's about dining culture, it must be exquisite.' Western culture and traditional Chinese cuisine are completely different. Knowing some Western food knowledge is still necessary, so that you can avoid embarrassment and laughter when you go to Western restaurants to eat.
