We take our marinated soft-boiled egg and wrap it with our soy ground beef mixture. Our soy beef is packed with flavor with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and scallion, and then fried to perfection. You have the crispy breading, the beef packed full of flavor, and the rich soft egg yolk all in one bite!”– Chef Daniel Starkey
