Beef Mushroom Umami Sauce
Mix the 1 cup water and 2 tsp cornstarch to make a cornstarch slurry. Set aside for later.
In a pan over medium heat, sauté garlic then add mushrooms. Pan fry until mushroom browns and is cooked (2-3 minutes).
Add the beef and all the seasonings. Break up the clumps of meat. Once it browns and has fully cooked, pour in the cornstarch slurry. Stir and let it cook until the sauce thickens slightly (for 1-2 minutes). Set aside.
Fried anchovies
Fry the dried anchovies until lightly golden and crispy. Set aside.
Poached Egg
To poach the egg, crack the egg in a cup.
Bring a pot of water to a simmer over medium low heat. Add 1 tbsp of vinegar and create a small whirlpool in the pot with a spoon.
Slowly pour the egg in the middle of the whirlpool and let it cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
